My "Crunch" In The Garage - Acura Forum

*Nikon1* · 12-22-07, 02:13 PM

As promised, here are the results of my RSX "crushing meeting with the grille."

Hard to believe it's $2,225.95 worth of damage to the RSEX!

The Grille & Shelving Unit Damage

And, the RSX damage

Both the bumper cover and A-Spec lower air damn are scratched and cracked underneath, so they'll both be replaced. The body damage on the body is due to the hose reel falling off the grille and coing down on the car. As far as the scratches on the wing spoiler, ???

what hit that.

At least no one was hurt!

New Jersey Manufacturers - great pricing and service . . . at least when I've needed them in the past.

What can you tell me about them???

For Driss (and anyone else) . . . The Sirius Satellite Antenna install:

Damn, John. Didn't even know that happened and pics were promised. So, the adjusters will do something even though it was your fault? (assuming it was faulty backing).

Yeah, foot slipped off the clutch (after much "thinking /replaying" I realized that my clutch foot slipped off the clutch pedal and that's what caused me to back into the grille / shelf) and the car just rolled into the grille.

<----- me for the last 4 or 5 days.

Since the car has full coverage, the insurance company will pay for damages - both to my car and the grille and shelf.

Don't know what this may / will do to my insurance premium, but that's why we have insurance.

and that really depends on how long you've been with them and how long ago since you last had an acciddent. you already know this, most carriers, your premium goes up when your at fault. SOME carriers, don't raise your premiums just because your at fault. especially when you've been with them for a really long period of time and you show now records of any other accidents.
