I've only had my rex for 6 weeks .... (photos)
and I get run into by a 4wd. At the time I was doing a grand total of no kph and had been doing nothing for about 10secs. She just accelerated out a sidestreet looking the other way and straight into me. No brakes no skidmarks, she was still accelerating when she hit. Do'h!

Very very true. I've only had it for 6 weeks and its been in getting a new motor for three of those weeks and for one of those weeks I've had a new motor so had to drive nice and slow. Now its going to be in some panel shop for the next 2 or so weeks. Oh well, it could have been worse.

I can see it now, Feed Type II front bumper, Rotary Extreme Headlight kit, Knight Sports hood, and clear side lenses 
Just pay off the difference, it shouldn't be too much. 
Awesome idea FD-Fever. It just sucks that it happened to you, good luck.

Hmm....so.
You were hit by a WOMAN in an SUV?
Funny that a lot of "wreck stories" I hear on the automotive forums across the net always seem to involve these two factors....

What a PIA! Pick a good body shop....Match shade of red. 3 Months after I puchased my '89TII new, I was parked and a young fellow backed into the right front. Needed bumper cover, headlight door... It took the dealer 4 times to get it right. Now hairline cracks in cover. Didn't use the correct mix.
Good Luck

Down with SUVs!!!! Grrrr pisses me off the most then you see some tiny soccer mom is driving along in her Excursion talking on her cell phone while the kids beat the hell out of one another in the backseat. Oh well...
But the damage doesnt look too bad... And people have pointed out the bright side already. You have a reason to get 99 front bumper or whatever... Just make sure to have a good shop do the work for you...

So it's still ongoing. Price is totally determined by whether I can find one in the country. Currently looking at at least $1200!-pete
