man i hope i get some parts soon... stang looks bad.

on the brighter side.... the parts to fix my fender bender were 600 bucks, and the old ladys insurance gave me a check for 2019.00. I have chrome bullets on the way, gt fascia, stripes, emblems, and looking for rear gt bumper. all FREE!

The car looks pretty good without the front facia, I'd keep the car the way it looks in the photo. Just kidding. I too am in the process of putting a GT front facia on my car. If you're putting on the GT front bumper cover you'll need the small GT styrafoam t-piece that replaces the V6 version to make the GT cover look right. Part number 5R3Z17C947BA. It costs about $10. Make sure you also get the GT front splash guards so they'll match up with the attachment points on the GT bumper cover. The V6 front splash guards won't work with the GT bumper cover. That should do it. Good luck, Jack.

i wanted roush, but it was 1200 painted and shipped. gt takeoff was 380 for the same. I couldnt resist the added bonus of new rims for free.

Nice parts list! How did you manage to get the chrome bullitts to be paid by insurance? Was one of you're wheels messed up at all?

more damage=more parts to remove and buy ;( .... still well under budget. I just cashed some of the left over money in on 2 AC/DC tickets.... sweeeetttt.

I took the car to one of the insurances "perferred shops" got them to write a quote for the insurance. it was 2017 dollars. I then told the insurance that I wanted the check wrote to me. (it is your right in Tennessee to have the check written to you) special thanks to my insurance adjuster friend for that bit of advice.

Here are the parts that actually needed replaced
1 headlight (50.00 bucks shipped= ebay)
1 fender (265.00 painted & shipped =ebay)
1 bumper (398.00 GT bumper painted & shipped =new take off.com)

total 713
that left 1304 to spend

im reusing my pony package fender emblem =free
sold my pony package grille for 130, bought a gt grille for 120= 10 extra bucks to spend
4 chrome bullets 850 shipped (new take off.com)
2 AC/DC tickets (214.00 ... hey, why not?)

240 left to replace my pony package stripe, and i havent decided if i will restripe my new gt bumper, im gonna put it on and then decide.
Plus, im gonna try and sell my silver bullets for 250. Soooo possibly still 500 left to spend. I smell a gt rear bumper.
