Damn, Todd I've got the old front bumper from my car. It'll need to be repainted, but you can have it for a couple hundred bucks. I just realized I have my old heat exchanger as well if you want to swap that out too.

nah, it's just the rubber gasket and part of the underbody tray under the HE... everything looks ok from the outside

I probably should take a peek under the lip though... but i appreciate the offer!

Your best bet is starting to learn to hit your driveway and everything else sideways. Get that front end!

Just grab another 55 bumper and toss a lip on it.

yes, it's somewhat hard to explain - upward sloped driveway, and a rolled gutter lip - really easy to back out too quickly and the difference between the suspension bounce and the curb tends to scrape each time...

come to think of it, it hasn't done it since the parts busted off it may have been just that 1/2" of clearance causing it
