    Default First wrecked Genesis in FL... Auto Repair Insurance?

    FUK raccoons... thats all i have to say.. so i got my car detailed yesterday...heres the link to the original detailed thread...

    http://www.southfloridaracing.com/fo...ad.php?t=66878

    Then.... on the way back from the garage.... (campus garage), 2 lane road not lit at all... i push it so the guy that detailed can feel the car... top of 2nd... stupid raccoon crosses the road... FUK!!! BRAKES!!!!! lil fuker got hit...it squeeled...passenger felt it under him..and raccoon runs away . stupid shit lived. here's the damage... it was a lot worse...but i had to pull out the plastic piece back out..the part that is cracked was tucked in pretty bad.

    I plan on taking off the bumper and fixing it from the inside...then just waiting for a lip kit that will cover that part to come out. After all the repainting i went through w/ my civic....NO WAY am i getting a new bumper or getting anything repainted. i've dealt with the horrors of not matching already... no way doing that again.. plus i want to keep all original parts on this one...

    That really sucks.

    There is no way to get it look perfect again unless you have it filled and repainted. Maybe a new bumper.

    Matching a color is hard but a good paint shop can do it. Poke around on gencoupe or any car club from your area and you should be able to find a really good shop that is known for their paint work.

    I had the whole front bumper on my '06 GTI replaced after getting hit by a metal pipe on the highway. The shop was able to match the color perfectly with no orange peel or fade.

    OH NO!!!! :cry:

    God that really really sucks! Why do little animals have to scurry out in the middle of the street when people are driving on it! Damn nature.

    Anyways...
    I would look at it and say hey oh well new bumper. Most likely down the road there will be some pretty cool aftermarket from bumpers/bodykits that may spark your interest. Sorry about the coupe though.

    Ouch!

    At least it was a raccoon and not a skunk, one that I accidental rolled over the body at slow speed one stormy evening on a very dark backroad near Stanford Univ some years ago. Even though I could pretty much guess what I had brushed against by the strong odor that immediately seeped through the ventilation, I was so damn upset by the whole thing I had to turn the car around in search of my unidentified “victim,” shone the headlights at the mound of lifeless blob near the side of the road ... yep, it was a large skunk, eyes wide open, shining back at me... The constant and steady rain that entire week could not get rid of the smell from the tires of the car, I can still remember.

    I would rather have picked a raccoon over a skunk in my little ordeal, if I had to run over any wandering, stray, small animal, but, of course, with that kind of damage to the car, especially a brand new one, I’d just as soon avoid hitting anything at any speed.

    Speedy recovery to your car so you can enjoy it like day-one all over again!

    Hey
    Looks like we are writing each other at the same time in different threads!
    I just read about the evil raccoon. Although I am not an owner yet, I have a couple dozen links of good info on the car. Here is a site that may have just what you need, and I isolated a front lip that covers the damaged area on your car as far as I can tell from the pics. They have a lot of cool things for the Gen coupe.

    Hope this helps.

    You might want to order it unpainted (to save $200!) because it comes in a stock black color but not paint matched of course. If it stands out too much then have it painted locally? I hope that it fixes your problem!
