Yeah it was crushing to have this happen, went down the street to get a movie and BLAM!!! Ive driven the car once after getting the new paint and insisted on taking it last night since it was nice and cold out (36*). But like moosejaw said, time to get some projectors, and I think I have a leak from my heat exchanger so hopefully an upgraded one of those too.

Thanks for the support guys

That sucks, but If you make out as well as you did last time, it will be worth it.

Sorry to see your car looking like this. I hope it wasnt your fault so you dont have to come out of pocket to replace your part. But like others have said, time for BIX with shrouds painted black. Hope it was a good movie to pick up at least.

Damn man....I feel your pain. It's kinda like seeing another guy get kicked in the nuts. You automatically grab your nuts too.

Sorry to see your car in this state.

Thanks man! I appreciate it.

So getting some projectors out of it is a must
and if the heat exchanger is leaking an aftermarket one would be great. aside from those two things any other suggestions on what I shouldd try to upgrade too?

I pulled out of a parking lot on to a three lane road, accelerated into the middle lane and the car started to fish tail a bit, I over corrected and the car spun 90 degrees. A car then hit my front end.

Just your luck right. Wasted a trip there just to end up with a messed up front end. For other mods other than BIX and HE possibly a CF front lip or a flat black one to match your grill and wheels.

Yes it's very cold in Nevada right now, it actually said on the news tonight that we have a chance of snow on Tuesday. Our pond froze over two nights ago, winter is here! Maybe I should try my luck, you wouldn't think anything else bad could happen.
