Default just got back from paint... then oops..

So I just got the car back from paint like a week ago, and this chick in a lexus just slams on her brakes and stops infront of me... My front brakes locked up and I ass packed her at about 30mph... insurance totaled it.. but the work has begun, and it already has a new motor, rad support, all the other crap that was wrecked. so now, instead of a daily driver, i get to make a race car

Actually on the bright side, the car doesnt look that bad. Your fenders look great considering. The rad support is toast, along with the hood, but now you can get that Cobra R hood you have been wanting, lol. Sucks that you just had it painted, but you could have slamed a Mac Truck and not a Lexus. Hope you fix her up right, good luck!

It wouldn't be that bad if it didn't just come from the paint shop.

It's not that bad, and the insurance totaled it? Damn.

I'm sorry, this is totally out of subject. But, did you paint your calipers yourself?

What did you use as a degreaser? And, were you able to paint ALL of it?

Sucks what happened to the car though.
