<![CDATA[It was a grim day]]>at 2:42 December 31st, 2006, my girlfriend sister and I crashed into a light pole on 34th st near the meadows golf course. It was a complete freak accident (thanks to Moorhead for not clearing up the streets) because I was going well under the speed limit and driving with the flow of traffic. As I took a right curve in the left lane, my back tires hit a patch of ice and fish tails sideways with the driver side facing the light pole. the odd thing was I was calm and collected and i tried to feather the gas and clutch to come out of the slide, but my wheels completely lost grip. Anyways I was lucky it was a wooden pole for the Light pole completely knocked over from the impact. If it were a metal pole, I would have been severely hurt for the impact of the pole was in line to where I was sitting. The stupid thing is the police man still gave me a ticket for driving excessively fast for given conditions. also, do you think i have to pay for the light pole as well?

kind of off topic, anybody know how to retrofit hids?

depends on the HID kit on how it is to be installed. Ive seen some that are just Plug-n-Play, others that require splicing.

As for the ITR parts, there are several places online to find them. Check out ClubRSX for some stores. Search in the JDM section for stores and you find a whole lotta listed ones. If you find one and want to know their credibility, just ask me. Otherwise, you shouldn't have much of a problem finding them.

http://www.jdmland.com/ ---these guys are among the best for showing what is available easily, but can be very pricey. You might be better off finding some used DC5 ITR parts on ClubRSX. There is always someone on there selling something.

As far as minnesota goes, i put the arraignment off once or twice for school, then i showed up and pled not guilty, then delayed it as much as i could. Then i made a plea agreement to change it to a lesser charge that wouldn't affect my driving record. They sent me the plea agreement and it was still for the higher amount but the lesser charge and the plea made me sound guilty and i didn't like it so i sent it back to change the wording and amount of fine. I never got anything back and that was over a year ago and i haven't gotten anything else and ive been pulled over with no warrant or anything.

I had to bring it to places and talk to my insurance company before I left January second to catch my plane. (since nothing was open december 31st and January 1st). Anyways if nothing can be done, Ryan, do you know where i can get a itr front lip?

My car is left in Moorhead. My dad is in Maryland working so nobody in my family knows how to drive the car. Also, the insurance guys are coming friday, so I dont know what to do.

Small dent with a little paint trading. May want to look there. Just drive up to the estimates door and they open it, you go right in and it takes maybe 15 min. Quick and painless.

hmm anybody know where it will be super expensive to get appraised? the insurance company has to send out an agent anyways to appraise the damage on the car.

Quality on 25th in Fargo, Dahls in the moorhead industrial part, Advanced(I think) they are just past 45th street going west on main ave.

Get a bunch of quotes. You only have to show your insurance company one.

BTW: what was you quote so far? Is there frame damage?
