Had the second accident in the CR-Z a few days ago. First time was sending myself backwards at about 40 miles an hour into a snowbank. This time was slamming on the brakes because the woman in front of me slammed on her brakes. I almost made it, but unfortunately made contact with her car. We both pulled over, saw the damage and exchanged insurance.
Her car was a big Lexus RX350. Fortunately it was much higher off the ground. All I did was leave some small marks on her bumper. My car took the bigger hit cracking the grille and chrome trim. However, the bumper itself remained intact and the crash beam wasn’t bent! I told her it was fine and I wouldn’t file a claim because I was gonna replace the grille anyways! LOL
At first I did think the bumper was lost. But I pulled up to a local shop I know well and they popped it out with a pry bar. I also hit up my exporter in Japan who was able to secure a Mugen Sports Grille to replace the cracked OEM grille. It won’t get here for a little while but I plan to have it slapped in when the shop from before also installs the fog lights and inner fender liners. That’s like three birds with one stone! But it’s also getting expensive. >_<
