That sucks!! I really liked your car before your mods :p, but glad you're alright.

I had a similar thing happen to me last year when I had my Grand Cherokee. I was sitting in a turn-around lane when some little old buick hit me from behind. She needed new headlights, new drivers side door, new hood, and a new bumper. Me on the other hand, she just scratched my hitch mount (which I had just painted ). Needless to say I was mad

 

I don't think I'm a huge fan of those mods either. Sorry to see that man.

 

Hey guys sorry for the slow update.

I've had the car back for about a week now, they had to wait an extra week because they ordered aftermarket OEM style headlights instead of the projectors and then the roads closed due to high winds. They did order me the newer lights with the white LEDs (they only had the yellow when I got them originally). Any way she's back and the front stripes are painted, but they're not under the clear coat so they're still a matt-ish black to match the vinyl stripes in the back.





They did give me back the emblem that I had painted. I haven't decided if I'm going to paint this one black or color match it to the car. Anyone have a grey bowtie? I'd love to see how it looks.

Insurance still hasn't paid for the car, but the shop has my deductible. Because they haven't paid out yet I don't know what sort of surcharge I might get hit with. If it's high enough I may end up selling the car and looking for a cheaper daily driver, probably a wagon of some sort. I've been eyeing a few V70Rs lately... Anyway, there are very few 3.9L Montes for sell around here so I don't know what the local market value is, any ideas from you folks? I've seen two stock silver 3LTs for sell down in Denver at 9-10k with 100k miles (I rolled 103k today).

 

Lookin' good Garrett! I think a paint matched bowtie would look pretty sharp.
