yip, i went to get an alignment n i got this






... any suggestions what i can do- get a new tailgate? .. ill re paint the bumper for sure ...... im just worry about the tailgate any aftermarker parts?

Cause the bodyshop says they will do it for 2k.....

Btw: Honda fit Ge 2010.

 

How the hell did they pull that off and why are you not bending them over a tool cart till they fix it for you?

 

that.

but to answer your original question, to my knowledge there isn't an aftermarket tailgate (someone correct me if i'm wrong). also that tailgate looks repairable. pull it out, thin layer of filler could probably take care of that.

 

why are you fixing this yourself?
And more details to your story please. wtf?!?

 

Yeah- If it is their fault-they must have liability insurance and you need to make a claim and get them to fix it. Their insurance should also pay for a loaner while your car is in the shop

 

If a shop did that to my car, you can be sure that I'd get a new hatch and a new bumper skin.

 

They gave me 3k .. for the damages.... i went to 2 different bodyshops... n they will do it for 2k max.... soo .. its kinda fair...

yip ... this moron was backin up my car.. n he didnt c the car behind him... n boooommmm smashed!

 

We're all human, and make mistakes. If they were willing to pay for the damages as they seem to have done, warnings are not necessary as they did the honorable thing. I would take that 3K and wait until I located a mint hatch in your color from a wrecked Fit that got smashed in the front, and fix only the bumper for now. That will solve your hatch paint matching and body filler quandary. Patience will pay off.

 

idk.. i wonder how difficult is to install a new tailgate(dot) cause the part itself is around 400 .. so i could paint it and guala.... any DYI around

 

damn sucks man... but just push for JDP to start making a carbon fiber hatch!!! or maybe VIS or Seibon

 

Sounds like a pretty good shop to me. Just an employee making a mistake.

 

Yeah, I'm not a fan of TiresPlus for other reasons, but it sounds like they did the right thing. As someone else mentioned, mistakes happen. It's how they take care of their mistakes. And looks like you will actually come out AHEAD from this, so you should be happy about it.

 

There is a Carbon Fiber Hatch on ebay FIT 09-10 HONDA OEM VIS Racing Carbon Fiber Trunk HATCH - eBay (item 390230925671 end time Dec-24-10 16:53:46 PST) I don't know of anyone who's done one but if you're modding your Fit that would look different and I'm sure there's some weight savings... Just my $0.02

 

Hum?!?

I wonder if I should swap out my hatch (and maybe hood too).

But the odd thing is, even though I like the idea of a carbon fiber hatch (and hood), I am not a big fan of making them stand out... Maybe get it paint matched to the body.

 

Lol ill get it fix for 400 bucks, n like new again

 

ummmmmmm the only logical thing would be replace it with a carbon fibre one

 

That sucks. I don't tires-plus or Wheelworks as it is known here. They screwed with my girlfriends car and would not fix the problem whith-out a lot of cash. I took somewhere else and told everyone I knew. I would never go back there again.

Sounds like they took care of you. Hope you find a Hatch somewhere, good luck though.
