Front fender, bumper, OEM lip, bracket under headlight, "l shaped" bracket behind headlight, and lower control arm are all toast. Headlight survived, but all the tabs broke (managed to recover them all and epoxy'd them all back on). Lip should be salvageable, we'll see.

 

Dang it, good luck, next time hit the rubber, if you can't avoid it with enough distance

 

ouch!

 

Save the headache/trouble by reporting it to your insurance. That's what they're for. I had a incident in Jan and then again in March, timing/bad luck shouldn't stop you. One of my friend had to file another claim after 1 week of getting it back, now that's cursed lol

 

My deductible is 1k. The damage isn't even that much so no point in filing a claim.

 

Eh? I can tell you just from looking at that you've done 2k in damage or better.

 

To bring that car to a good body shop (not some hole in the wall) and have it professionally repaired to new condition is way over 1k. I can see it in parts alone.

 

Agreed, report it. Then change your deductible to $500 or less since you're cursed, I know the feeling

Similar happened to me in the past - hit a dear in Talon, Talon was hit while parked, Talon hit a pothole and damaged wheel and alignment, pickup was hit while parked, S2k was hit by a douche making a u-turn while I was parallel parking.

All this in ~ 1.5 year period. It's ridiculous. Fortunately, I have great insurance and my premiums didn't budge. I did not realize how unlucky I was until the S2k was hit, then I reduced my deductibles to $100 Lesson learned.

 

I tore the car apart yesterday and there's no other damage aside from the fender, bumper, OEM lip, lower control arm, and a bent headlight bracket. My logic was to just replace all the parts myself, which comes out to about 1k. Already found a silverstone bumper in good shape, and was going to go on the hunt now for a silverstone fender, but now i'm beginning to think about if it's worth paying out of pocket or just reporting it :\

 

That really sucks! I would report it as well. I work in a collision center and see more than $1000 worth of damage. Just bite the bullet....
