p5 wreck!
Arggggg.
I wrecked my p5 last Thursday. It's in the body shop right now waiting for the insurance adjuster to come and inspect. I will post some pics as soon as I get them.
Everybody help me out on this.

conrad i'm really sorry to hear about the crash, i'm glad you are ok.
It seems like it might be a good idea to replace the old parts with aftermarket ones cause those don't tend to cost a lot more than old ones and if you want a body kit any way this way you aren't spending money on a the oem parts then paying all that money again for aftermarket ones.
let us know what is up, take care and can't wait to see you again since i'm moving to IL
i look forward to hangin out again with you and other great IL people i met

This happened to me this summer. Aftermarket parts would be nice but, good luck talking your insurance company or the shop into doing this, usually they won't do it. If you can pull it off though, go for aftermarket.

Conrad...my sympathy.
I know EXACTLY how you feel. I did that last April, remember?
If the cost of the aftermarket parts is equal to or less than the originals, and the body shop is cooperative, there is NO REASON you can't have the parts you want put onto the car.
I hope the repair process goes smoothly. Is Kory going to do the repairs for you?

Pete

Okay...I NEED to see some pics.
I guess pics are the only way to see how bad each of the accidents were.
Lets see...Dale, Pete, Conrad, Kory....that's a lot of bent Proteges.
Guess it's the "in" thing to do? Yikes!

Pete
