Car got hit!
 
2 Attachment(s)
Does anyone know if I can get a replacement part on the back of a 1999 Camaro. Mine got hit in the rear-left taillight (shattered) and crushed the r/left quarter panel (by the taillight) and back part (that says Camaro) and pushed it in two inches. I will get my car picks soon when I get my camera back. I'd give the hit a 2.5/10 but still will be costly for repaint, taillight, and that camaro part. ------------------Yellow is damage, and green is the part I want.

V6Cam 03-06-2008 08:54 PM

that sucks, ebay is your best bet

98CamaroZ28 03-06-2008 10:32 PM

get a black one, Berger style! with Red Camaro lettering!

ITSA6 03-06-2008 11:36 PM

yeah you could get away with a black one. save you money if someone already painted it that color. ebay or forum for sale adds

FORCE_FED_Z 03-07-2008 04:51 PM

Green part is easily found- they go on ebay all the time as well as forums too...as far as the yellow, thats going to be harder. The rear fenders aren't an easy swap out procedure on the 4th gens-

get a real body man (as in he better be over 50 the new guys can't do body work they just hang parts) that can be metal finished pretty easily usually

Photos.
 
It actually looks better in picture. When I got it towed once, the lame towtruck guy killed the bottom of my front bumper and my mom just yesterday nailed the top and my grill. Its not my week.............................msnusers.com/1999camaross

Turned out the waste management trash truck hit my car and now I have to prove it to them that they were the only one who could have inflicted that specific damage.

archemedes 03-15-2008 03:47 PM

that's why you call the police immediately, and tell the driver immediately you saw it

graffiti oner 04-17-2008 01:06 PM

My car is screwed.
 
Finally talked to them last week and they're not taking liability. I already took the bad grill off and my bumper looks like crap with the only nice thing about it is a new license plate. So I will paint it myself, I dont have funds to have a paint shop do it. Does anyone have a recommended brand of choice for spray cans? And how to limit orange peel, like when should I wet sand if I could?

Spray cans?

Just say no.

graffiti oner 04-17-2008 03:51 PM

I must, my car is in worse condition than most junkyard cars. Well, most likely it'll be $300-$400 to get my bumper painted right?

Zippo 04-23-2008 09:20 PM

That sucks about getting hit.

Try searching around , some online store might have something , if not try ebay.

Is there anyway to open my trunk from the inside? My lock is jammed stuck now and I need to open the trunk.

automaster 05-14-2008 07:35 AM

Ebay is best for this

Camaro-Dreams 05-14-2008 08:27 AM

Beavis 05-29-2008 11:46 PM

I actually found one at a junkyard for only $15, came up. I did some decent body work and painted it but couldn't get a real clear for the whole quarter panel so I threw some stripes on the sides to distract this really crisp black section. All done for $50 courtesy of autozone. Now I'm encouraged more to rapidly get a professional paint job. But I would prefer the Z28 front bumper vs. my Xenon, anyone want to trade?

whitecamaro96 06-25-2008 11:37 AM

idk bout your bumper situation but i wuold like to see more pics of your car once you get it done lol

Bernotas05 06-25-2008 03:03 PM

I sort of like the stripe but a professional paintjob is definatly needed on the rest of the car.

First95 06-25-2008 09:51 PM

Those are pretty nice stripes actually... And you should try to find some Import tail lights like Chads since the one is broken... It would look pretty sweet.

RiderX 06-30-2008 12:43 PM

Well you could try dismantling the lock, but I think u will need to feplace ur lock after that.
