Woot, new front bumper and new hood
#1
So I was driving along and BAM!! it hit me, I need a new hood and front bumper, then I was thinking might as well get a new front radiator support, then for the hell of it, I think ill buy a paint job for the rear bumper off of some lady's car. Oh now your thinkin..... Yep I got into an accident. It was raining, and a truck pulled out in front of her, she slammed on the brakes, I wasnt paying attention like a good driver and slammed on my brakes too late. So I banged up my car pretty good.

The car will be at the MM car show, can I get most damaged? This sucks, I guess you guys are right, the DSM is never operational lol.

DJ, If need be I might be able to repair some of the scratches and paint transfer from any of the cars...yours or hers. Sorry to hear about the accident but at least you are ok. Lemme know if there's anything I can do.

AHahah its not paint transfer its full damage. The hood would take an industrial press to get flat again, the bumper is just well, smushed to say the least. The only damage that I hadnt already planned on replacing was repainting her bumper and also replacing my radiator core support. I thought about just pulling it, but its cheap enough to just replace the whole thing, that it might just be worth it to replace it. We will see. I am still not sure.


Luckily it did not damage my front mount amazingly, nor did it damage any alternators, engine, turbo shit so I came out relatively alright.

In a few weeks youll see the brand new CF hood and repainted front bumper that I was talking about. Since the car will be down, ill be able to get some work done on it hopefully. We will see. Thanks guys.
