Hey.  My car just got hit-and-runned.  So now, I have a $1k deductible, and probably $3k in damages.
I know I need a front bumper, that black thing below the bumper, a new hood, probably a new passenger fender, and the entire headlight assembly....

If anyone has any ideas to either help me
A) have an argument for the insurance company saying that it wasnt my fault, cuz I was shopping and my car got hit in the parking lot, so I shouldn't have to pay a deductible,
or
B) save me some money based on "Since the bumper and black thing cost $500, you could buy a Bomex front body piece for $450."
Some help along those lines plz, and soon, cuz I cant drive my car till I save the $1k deductible.
Thanks all,
-Jeff

get assesed at $3k,
take away $1k deductable (3-1=2)
go to junkyard and get parts from rearended or S.I.C. car  for $1k
have $1k left for mods

easy as cake
my car got keyed:
$820 damage (insurance quote)
$500 deductable
$320 to fix car
got WHOLE drivers side (3 panels) painted for $400
spent $80 to have all dents fixed and paint
