Default The accident......... :(

some idiot decided to backup into me messing up both fenders, bumper, hood,and few other things, thankfully there was no frame damage to the car, and had only one way insurance :`(

Treat yourself with a new GFX lip. Paint the lower grille to match body color too!

Dang... sorry to hear about the accident.

I'm glad that it's covered. I thought one way insurance should cover liability only. It should pay out the other party, but not cover your own vehicle if it's your fault. Either way, if it''s the other party at fault, his/her one way insurance should cover you.

make sure you get a clear bra

hmm, how does that work? Do you need to wait 30 days after repaint? Maybe you need to put on a cloth bra to protect until 30 days is up?

Yes... you do not want to cover up the paint after it has been painted. You should wait 30 days before applying the clear bra. This is to allow the paint to "breathe" and cure properly.

Can someone tell me what one-way insurance is? I assumed this to mean that you have insurance that covers liability for your damage to others' cars but not to your own (effectively no collision coverage). But if this is what the other driver had, then his insurance should be covering you, since it was his fault. So I'm a bit confused.
