BAAAD KARMA I Guess....

After finally being finished with my car (I dropped it about a month ago), someone from Miami decides to run a red light and T-Bone my baby.... Cops actually had to hold me back.



Now it looks like I have to start all over again... It only took 2 years...

Ya it's MCD.. It's fits well, but CF quality is poor.... Looks great from the rear though, I get a lot of compliments...

Ya I was hoping within 6 weeks... I'm going to get eisenmann exhaust out of it at least and maybe some new rims.

Sorry to hear about your recent accident

Judging by how it looks from the picture... It looks like your right rear wheel was spared as well as your taillight... Just bring it to a reputable auto body shop in your area and they should have it repaired in 4-6 weeks

They are having a new event at The Mission Inn in Howey in the Hills (20 minutes north of Orlando) on March 6. First time at this location. St. Pete will be on April 3. Orlando show will be in October.

That is why I hardly drive mine. I have owned mine since 6/09 and I only have 2700 miles. Just afraid of all of the idiot drivers out there. Glad you are ok.

The fitment of your MCD rear spoiler looks pretty good.
