Well, I knew that sooner or later....something would happen to my stang. I didnt know what, or when, but something was bound to happen.
The sad part, is that when it did happen, it was my fault. Today I was pulling into a parking space, and for some idiotic reason I went a little too far when pulling in and hit a van that was in a space next to the one I was parking in. So, I got out and had the usual police report done. Insurance will pay for theirs, but not mine. It really isn't that bad. I have to buy a new piece to go around the head-light. The funny part is that his van was really screwed up and there was barely a dent on mine except for the headlight trim being messed up.

 

Is the fender bent any?

Look on the bright side, it could have been way worse. You got lucky my friend.

 

Yes, later in the day I accepted that it could have been a lot worse. The fender is bent in a little from where the tail-light housing pushed in on it. But its so small you can barely notice once I get a new tail-light housing.

 

Are you going to take it to a place to have them paint it, or are you going to do it yourself.

The reason I ask is because paint comes in a minimum of a pint or quart. If you only have that headlight bucket done, then that's a lot of paint wasted. You might as well go ahead and get a fender and have them paint that too.

 

Actually, when i got it painted about 4 months ago, he said he wanted to re-paint the exact same fender that I hit today. I know the guy that owns the body shop so he won't rip me off for the little body work that needs to be done. I don't need a whole new fender, thats a waste. Besides, the part is only like $35 then I have to pay for the paint and stuff.
