lol Sorry I'm not like that. I can't do that to anyone, even if they are filthy rich. It's just not in me to even attempt to rip someone off.
If I ever get to paint it, then I'll be doing the body work on it, and my dad will spray it.

OMFG! I'm having such great luck... I'll start from the beginning:
I was headed home about 1:30 A.M.(I know, kinda late). I was only going 55mph(just below the speed limit). It was raining pretty good and had been for a long time. I wasn't sleepy so when I saw this huge armadillo in the middle of my lane I reacted just as fast as I normally would. But since it had been raining all I did was slide/hydroplane straight into it. No I didn't slam on the brakes(I'm not that dumb). I tried to swerve and miss it... But with that much rain and in a low spot where theres some standing water, it didn't do much good. So now my poor tibby has a busted front end.
I mean it hit practically dead center so it broke the little black mounts off that hold the bottom middle piece of the bumper. And took a bunch of paint with it. That's all I could see last night with a flash light... I didn't have time to jack it up this morning to look before work. I'll get some pics of it tonight when I go home to check.
So yeah I might be painting it sooner then I wanted. Anyone want to sell me their KDM skirts tongue.gif? If I do paint it, I am going to get something for it. She deserves it after the beating she has taken.
PS. Mods, I didn't want to make a whole new thread for this so I just added to the one I had.

.. wow. Dude, your car is what made me decide that I needed to start really modding my car. I hope you get everything squared
You definately need to bring it back to standards and then better. Before I saw your car, mine was pretty much stock with reversable modifications.

^Thanks mang. Trust me, I'm not going to leave it hondafied lmao.gif.
I've been thinking that I might modify the busted one to better suite what I want. Maybe... I mean what do I have to lose? A broken bumper?
I want the type r bumper from flyryde... But I can't talk myself into getting a fiberglass or carbon fiber bumper.
Pics as promised:




Like I said, dead center... And yes, my plate is bent. Already fixed that though.
My dad said he can fix those supports with a repair kit. I'm not sure how good it'd look but that's the cheap route. But... I do want a f2(type r) front end with king sides and rear lip. It'd look sexy.

^ Thanks mang. I'm fixing it ASAP. going to see how fixing the braces with a urethane repair kit looks. Then see if I want to order a new bumper or not. I'll be getting the paint next week, hopefully. And then start the sanding and what not.
I know it's a ton of work, but this would be a good time to repaint and debadge it. I'm seriously considering it.
