Bent the bar behind my bumper, broke my headlights, pushed back the frame, fcked the corner of my hood, and fcked my fender. So piece by piece I've been replacing pieces. Below is a pic I took after I replaced the headlight and fenders. I've been upgrading my car, not just buying on impulse.


    I couldn't keep the stock bumper because it was broken, and I had a CAI. Water would get in my CAI everytime it rained, which was why when I just got this bumper, I put it on...Its a Buddy Club, polyurethane. $475 shipped. Same with my hood, it was damaged. I just replaced it with a VIS carbon fiber hood the beginning of this month, also $475 shipped. I replaced the other headlights with projectors $150 shipped. All of my mods aren't "rice/cheap". 2 sets of 6k HID's from Nitro. I have the KYB gas shocks $250+, the skunk2 front and rear camber kit, $280. Viper 2 way alarm, $500+ w/ Best Buy warranty, and $1400 18" rims/tres. I have headers, short ram intake, coilovers...that I agree are cheap. But they will be replaced soon enough. I actually dont buy stuff on impulse, everything has been planned.


    not bashing anything with this.but when they refer to a cheap part. they are not talking aboutt the cost. theyare talking about the way it looks. I didn't know your car was that messed from the ACCIDENT. If the frame was bent. why did you keep it. that is just dangerous.

    my bad, not the frame. but the part behind my headlight thats pushed in. oh well, to each their own. what do mean "ACCIDENT" on caps?
