Hurts to look at the pics. Amazing how from the front and the other side, you wouldn't know anything happened. Hey, at least you got out alive. Hope you got the plate of the other car. You should post any pics of what she looked like in her prime ... nice way to remember her. But don't tell me you've already replaced her with a beemer!

GS300dude Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 It must be catching. I totaled mine on Friday. was it your fault? plus i wouldnt call that totalled..... all you need is to fix the frame....hood, fender, front bumper ,some nice aftermarket headlights...dont know if your air box is broken or not.....also I might be parting out my lexus so you can get most of the parts from me if you want.

Hawkfe Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 The body shop called yesterday and said they stopped adding up the damage at $10K. The book on it is around $11K on the high side (99 model). Exactly what you said, the frame rail on the right side is bent, the shock tower got pushed back about .75 of an inch. He's going to contact my insurance company tomorrow, so they'll have the final say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
