Dude, if you saw the roads here in Auburn you wouldn't want to spend more than 30 bucks on a body kit. I know it will be destroyed in a couple of years. There's so many stupid pot holes around here. I'm already on my second set of rims.

lol

man u can sue the state for not fixing the roads.

not many ppl know about it, but if you take pics of the potholes and the damage done to your car cause of riding into it. you can press charges...

people around here do it all the time, and thats why the state tries to fix potholes really quick...

where did you go to do it?

you can i believe in a small claims court or something.

that carlson kit looks nice, but i think the front looks too square.

aside from that, it looks alot like amg c36!

Man, if I had a Sentra (or similar car) and lived in Utah, I would do the same thing.

I'd like to see the pictures when he's done, apparently there's no front air dam yet.

I went to the police station. Yeah, I think I'm going with the C36 kit. It happened on campass so I didn't want to get on their bad side.
