Help!! Not a good day : (


Had a slight accident today, where the person in front of me took off then suddenly stopped short and I didn't stop in time. Anyhow from what I can see and drivin after the accident. No frame damage, no engine lights on. Drives fine. No damage to radiator or AC at all. Looks like all body work, new hood, grill and front bumper.
I went underneath a jacked up truck and my hood took the direct impact, airbags did NOT deploy.
What I need is a OEM hood or a nice custom hood to replace it, a new grill and a front bumper. Any one out there selling these things?
It's an 09 G37 Journey coupe, A7
Any good bargains out there?

Sorry about the collision my man!
Hope you get everything sorted out. I don't know much about OEM parts but honestly if I were you, I'd make some light out of this situation and upgrade to an aftermarket front bumper �� You should be able to get a used hood for decently cheap. Try the for sale section or even try contacting some salvage yards/online auction houses that have crashed g37s with the hood still intact. Won't hurt to make them an offer on a hood

I'm guessing you don't have uninsured motorist coverage

his insurance will cover it.. out of pocket is his deductible
im guessing since he rear ended the truck... his insurance will have difficulty proving its not his fault...

Yea, about 99.5% of the time you're going to be found at fault if you're doing the ramming.

Might as well upgrade the front bumper and grille. Hood won't exactly be cheap...Looking at at least $350+ before paint; and those are probably "OE" and won't be exact fits. It will get the job done but you will; have to play with it and there will be gaps.

Sorry to hear about your accident, you should upgrade to the sport bumper while you're at it!

I'm sorry to see this It really breaks me every time I see something like this even when its minor. I also suggest taking the opportunity and upgrading to the sports bumper as well!

Like everyone has said before, you should absolutely update the car while you're at it, wont cost ya a penny more. Grab a sports bumper and midnight grille. Any coupe hood will work. Then just get it all painted.

screw it, might as well slap an FMIC and twin turbo on while you have the hood and bumper cover off.

Put a nice vented carbon fiber hood on it! Get coil overs and a sway bar for better handling as well.

Midnight grill or mesh grill would look great coupled with a carbon fiber hood

I personally like the top secret style front bumper
