Got clipped by a garbage truck this morning

was this the authentic amuse? holy sh!t I would be furious...

ouch! sorry to see that. I love the Amuse kit. Was that an authentic Amuse kit also?

:eek::eek::eek: that sucks!

yea it was authentic Amuse

damn sorry man... :shakes head:
at least insurance will cover the OEM replacement cost...

Oh my. Hopefully insurance will cover it

**** man, that blows... Did you make your insurance company aware of the Amuse kit prior to the accident? If not... I wouldn't expect anything besides OEM Rear...


EDIT:: Actually.. Since the garbage truck hit you, I'd see about forwarding Amuse Repair estimates to the garbage trucks company to see about correct compensation... It's worth a shot...

ouch!

:icon14:

Ouch... :(

Damn that sucks man. +1 on trying to get it fixed through the garbage company.

:gtfo2: that totally blows - sorry!! :eek: +1

Ouch man. Good luck with repairs! Post up the repair pics when you're done!

such fragile..... :eek:

Sorry to hear Luis!

The damage looks like it could probably be repaired though. You'd be very surprised what kind of repairs can be made to FRP, as long as you have a competent body shop.

Very sorry to see this. You may have some leverage here with the company owning the truck. No MERCY! :)

noo not the amuse! Atleast you are okay, good luck on the fix/repair. :tiphat:

So whose fault was it?? Anyway to claim from the city or truck company??

looks like the rear quarter got a little dinged also. The insurance company should compensate you the cost of an OEM bumper so you can put that toward buying a new amuse bumper. I know its not genuine but UAM makes a good replica which would cost less giving you a quality replacement without busting your wallet.

Amen to this! My father in laws truck got clipped by the town garbage truck and they paid him way mor then the parts on his truck were worth. I would call the city and give them the police report and estimates and get them to pay for your parts. When you get an estimate I would just show them your sales receipts for the Amuse kit....

Good luck!!

:eek: Dude... I'm so sorry.. Just think it could have been the the whole side or worse.

Hopefully insurance will pick it up entire cost & not just OEM replacement.

Am I the only one who would expect the WM company to pay for this?

Nope I'm with you!! They need to pay and they most definitely hit the wrong car!!

Damn sucks to see another one take a hit! GL with submitting the bill! Hope all is paid out and fixed ASAP!

Sucks!

Rep for your trouble...

They are responsible to pay for the damages, you can put a claim in with their company rather than putting one through your own. if you have a competent insurance agent I recommend you contact them and tell them you want to put the claim in with their company and not yours.

ALSO: I hope you got a police report documenting the accident

Yeah, if that is fiberglass, that shouldn't be that hard to repair (looks like only one major rip/crack). I was just fiberglassing the 3 pieces of my racecar this weekend. No hard at all, just takes time to clean it up afterward.

I'm sure it could be repaired... If it wasn't his fault I would make sure a new part is purchased and put in place.

man thats just crazy. yesterday everything was still perfectly fine. :crying: good luck with the repairs louis.

Basic crack, get the money for a new piece, and then fix the crack, pocket the money.

I am the opposite. Get the money and buy a new one, put the cracked one up for sale.

Nyc.....

Damn bro that sucks. I've seen how those A-holes in the garbage trucks drive at least here in NY. They have no regard for traffic and just drive like idiots and drive across the opposite lanes and cut off people and park in stupid positions. Good luck
