Well, tonight happend the unexpected... On my way home from college a huge, and i mean HUGE rabbit decided to cross the road while i was comming. The good thing is that i got it almost in the center part and not on the driverside were my CAI sits cause if i would of my engine could of been eating some rabbit hairs.

When i hit the rabbit i felt were it went through, and all of the blood and organs hit on the bottom of my tib, all in a split second, and it wasnt pretty. dead1.gif

Anywho, the bottom of my GKII bumper is in two pieces now. The wierd thing is it didnt break in the center part where i added the 4" but it broke on the corner of the mouth part... I'll post some pics later, i cant even find my freaken digi cam cable.

I think that the only way to fix it now is getting a lip for a GKII front bumper, i hope i can find some made out of plastic
