I was driving down a local street and the car in front of me was tailgating the car in front of him. The usual story; he brakes suddenly and so I rear end him. :frown: My first accident, ever. My front bumper is dunzo and so is my grill. I just found out that my horn doesn't work, either. And my left turn signal works but it's way faster than it should be.

Halp! Prz send me some good and cheap body shops, and places that paint bumpers for cheap!

My JDM Vitz emblem popped off :(

Also, if any of you are selling a front bumper, please let me know! It doesn't have to be an 09. I'm also looking for a front Vitz emblem.

My poor car :((((

What about your insurance? That's more damage than a typical deductible.

With insurance, you wouldn't need to concern yourself with finding a cheap shop. Unless you know someone with a shop, a cheap job will be just that - cheap. Think pealing paint after 2 years.

Glad you're okay.

Front Netz emblem for $5 + shipping: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31170

I currently have purchased it but am waiting for a refund from him (UPS wouldn't use my account to ship it to me.)

When'd this happen?

If you want an aftermarket, I got a burnout. Ahah.

"Good" and "Cheap"

Pick one - that's all you're allowed from that choice, unless it's a kind friend.
Hope it works out well, that's a nasty bump there.

Kal-El, I'm thinking it's better to fix it on my own since I have a $1000 deductible. I could spend a bit more and get a JDM front bumper and new projector headlights.
33OH, the front emblem was sold already. Drat!! :(
ddongbap, PMed you for the bumper.
Thanks SailDesign. Nasty indeed :/

what I have found in the past when this happens it's because one of the turn signal bulbs has burned out, in your case it probably got broke in the accident.

Would just replacing the bulb fix the problem?
