So, as I was out delivering pizzas the other day, some teenage girl pulled out from a stop sign at an intersection because she didn't see me (or didn't pay attention while looking both ways), and I ended up skidding into her. I was only doing 35-40mph when she pulled out (speed limit was 35 on the street), but there was absolutely no way for me to stop in time, I was already so close when she pulled out.

Long story short, some relatively minor front end damage to my Celi frown.gif. I'm going to be getting an estimate sometime soon. My driver side low beam got cracked pretty good, and my front bumper cover isn't in the best of shape. I'm not sure if I'll be needing to replace any other parts, but once I find out what's being covered, and how (full coverage, whee tongue.gif ) I'll start my shopping list.

Since I'll be needing a new front bumper, I was looking at body kits on Andy's Auto. I like the look of the Extreme Dimensions C-5 bumper more than most of the alternatives, and I like the idea of the Duraflex stuff. Does anyone who's used their body kits have any advice or tips about it, or bad experiences to share?

Oh, I'll also leave this world-changing bit of wisdom from the chick whose car I hit: "I had a stop sign! You were supposed to stop!" laugh.gif Her Ford Explorer got a scuff and some of my black paint, after looking at where I hit her, I'm not sure the door panel I hit was even dented. Apparently my Celica is not a heavy hitter. tongue.gif
