    crash with a bookshelf

    I went on a fishing trip over the weekend and came back to find my wife had crashed the LX into a bookshelf. She actually clipped the side of it, she was following someone really close behind made to pass and suddenly she saw a bookshelf in the lane she was heading for! She clipped the front bumper, knocking it loose and putting a good size hole in it. Also took out the plastic piece in the wheel well. I'm guessing the the bumper is a total loss nad will have to be replaced (I'll look at some aftermarket designs and see what's out there.) For now though I'm more worried about the wheel well. Any idea how much this is goign to cost? I think that the plastic piece under the engine was also ripped off. After a look at the engine and such, that all seems to be ok, no leaks or dents that I can see. The wheel also is surprisingly in good shape.
    I've found a bumper cover for $20 + s&h but now I'm looking for the part numbers/names for the wheel well coverings and engine coverings. I beleive that I've found the engine cover(splash sheild) for about $17 but am unsure as to what it actually is. I should have pics of the missing peices in a day or two.

    Could have been worse... The bookcase could have been in someone's living room at the time she crashed into it. :D

      A few weeks ago at my dad's apartment complex, a elderly gentleman ran into a wall of an old lady's apartment just about giving the old lady a heart attack!

        Damn , you should have a serious talk to her about that type of stuff...

        At least she didn't hit a car behind the bookshelf ..

              I think they're fender liners or something. Shouldn't cost too much to get fixed besides the bumper.

                yeah, it's the fender liner.. i was trying to find my work order for my accident in january which had the part number listed on it. i cant find it. i had to have it replaced too.. the cost was cheap. call up junkyards for something like that though.

                        I saw that and thought that it was part of the body kit that it's next to. Oh well. I guess I'll search around and see if I can find it. Does this part go clear around the wheel well? I wasn't around during the accident so the part is probably sitting in a ditch somewhere so I can't tell what it looked like.

                          Dude that sucks!! Just goes to show you that women can't drive. My sister in law hit a pile of neatly stacked bricks that was on a pallet going to be used for their remodeling of their home. She really messed it up too! I went to get beer with her once and she had to get gas for the car and upon leaving the gas station, pulled right in front of some one and cut them off!!! Luckily the guy was tolerant. If I was the other driver, I would be cursing, ficking the bird, and blasting my horn!!
