If its any help I have extra black side skirts since I replaced mine with the color coordinated GT ones, let me know if you're interested in them.

definatly pay a little extra at the body shop to get GT parts. Is your insurance going to cover your accident? Was there a police report?

Basicly now Im just waiting now to see what insurance has to say. If they say its a hit and run. I'll only have to pay the 500 decuctable. If they say its a single vehicle accident, i'll either have to pay for everything myself or have my insurance go up by 5 grand. Thanks for the side skirt offer, If I gotta pay everything myself I'll definately be interested in them.

Does anyone else have some oem parts they want to get rid of such as some oem wheels/tires, springs, rotors, suspension components? It would be great if I can get the cost of parts down.

I just went through almost the same thing. a guy pulled out in front of me and i swerved to miss and lost it into a guard rail. i wound up doing 9k worth damage. when the police came they said that missouri state law says if there wasnt any contact with the other car that there is nothing that i could do about it. I spoke to a lawyer and he said that if the police got the other guys info that i could go after his insurance co. and try to make them pay for it. in some cases you can get them to pay your deductable, which mine is only 250 so its not worth my time. i dont know what state you live in but more then likley it will be the same for you. if you didnt make contact then your basicly screwd. sorry to hear about it. it sucks because you try to have something nice and some idiot screws it up for you. good luck.

From where Im from, if theres any evidence of another car It can be classifed as a hit and run. Right now theyre just deciding if the skid marks count. Sorry to hear bout your car man, that sucks, no one wants to run their baby into a beater. Thanks for the offers gabeh1018 and desperado331, are any of you willing to just sell 2 wheels and what areas are you from? Im definatly interested in getting my costs down. desperado331, what colour is your rear bumper?
