    Rear ended by drunk SOB

    Well yup, gave the car a nice wash and noticed I had a phillips screw on my rear tire, the same tire had a needle in it a few weeks ago (not sure whats up), then a few moments later got rear ended by a guy who was trying to run out of the gas station without paying. Spent the next 5 hours in the police station, and the guy got jailed on the spot for drunk driving.

    Now I do need a replacement rear tail light, the carbon fiber taillight surround bezel (not sure what its called), and the color codes for the white and the blue on the GTSR. Can anyone help put me through to a dealer that might have any of those parts? I am finding out in the morning if any of those parts are available in the local dealer but we have VERY few vipers so I woultnt be sure what they stock and what not.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Sorry to hear man. That's some awful luck.

    I highly recommend having the bumper repainted by Prefix. The stripes are laid before the color and the clear coat. No better people to repaint than them.

    well, the idiot got thrown in jail instantly after they did an alcohol breath test, im going back to the police station tomorrow to find out the status since I dont get an insurance paper until the drunk driving case has been resolved. In the meanwhile I sent my car to get fixed and luckily found the parts I need locally, albeit at a higher price than what I found online.
