Seriously thinking about selling her..... The car was in an accident a couple months ago and I received a fat check from the lady's insurance and was happy as ****. I order a bunch of parts for a little makeover including my CME 
then something came up and I had to let my girlfriend borrow $800. Then it turns out that the valance from 6LE is on backorder for a couple months from what I read on another thread. Then I'm like **** it I'll wait to fix my car until last nite when my car is hit by a bullet from a drive-by in front of my girl's ghetto *** house 
I find out from my insurance that I need to pay a $1000 deductable to get my windshield and t top fixed 
Is it not meant to be fixed??? Man I swear I feel like I'm cursed with this car forever. What would you guys do???
Here's a pic of the damage:

you could get a windshield and t-top for like $300 give or take if you look around, but i dont know about the other molding parts. The first thing i would be doing is to make sure my girlfriend is safe, your car is just a car insurance can take care of that. But it would really suck if something happened to her.

I wouldnt have a thousand dollar deductable fisrt off. Second I would get a new windshield and grab some t-tops of the forum or ebay. I can get new glass installed for about ~$170.00, t-tops for under $200.00 all day long. I have bought two winshields the last year and some t-tops, dunno what prices are where you are but shouldnt be that much different. Good luck what ever your decision.

Hes right, you'll never get what its worth. Buy a new passenger side t-top and save some money for the windshield. Man, hope your luck gets better bud.

I mean I've been trying to mod the car for the past year and **** doesn't stop coming up. It's ticket after ticket and problem after problem. Then when I get the chance this happens. IDK selling the car and putting it together with the money I'm getting for my back being messed up in the accident just sounds like a good idea.

There's a way to get the city to pay from what the cop told me but he said that the way the state is who knows how long it would take to actually get the money to fix it. Should I give it a try???

Dude dont sell it, a new windshield through safelite is only $219 installed(just checked) along with $27.95 for a new molding. Safelite is awsome, they've installed 3 windshields(**** all over the interstates here) in my DD and have always done great work.
T-Top you can get those all day long for cheap, for $300 you can get that fixed. Dont even get your insurance company involved, not worth it.

^^^^^^ Yea I'm dead serious. Was watching t.v. in my gf's house when the shots went off. Helicopter passed by flashing the light and everything a minute later and when we go outside to check what exactly happened, there were 5 cop cars outside with flashlights at my car. When I walk up to them it turns out that they were trying to see if the bullet was still there in the car
