Looking at the paint blending i'd say more than the bumper was damaged, significantly more.

It looks more like him running the red light and getting t-boned.

Man, great deal. That's a great price, there's a little things here and there that need to be done, but I think you got a good deal. Take care of the ride, and it'll do you well!

He said he got the car repainted after he got it. Where do you see the paint blending? I have a tall house and it's blocking the sun from shining down onto the driver side. You can see the reflection of my house on that side. The car's also in a shadow...

I have to go and take it out for some more pictures, but it's so dark by the time I get off after work. It'll have to wait for the weekend.

BTW, I've been trying to get some cheap tires. Have any of you tried Namkan NS-IIs? They're pretty cheap and I read some review that they're good for the money.

The car is still not street ready yet! I've been itching to get this car done and done!

Still have to get it registered as well...not looking forward to paying the tax on this baby.

Thanks will!

That car is too sexy for a manly name like Gus.

Don't make me question my sexuality dammit!

Thanks man! I think I got a good deal too...HOWEVER...

A lot of the MODS are not actually installed on the car. The Daizen brushings, woofer, amp, wood dash kit, lexus metal pedals, and carbon fiber panels need to be installed. But the major MODS: intake, exhaust, and bodykit are installed so I'm good!

No the Blitz has nothing to do with it...just looks kinda similiar, but there are noticeable differences.

WIN is the original and Revolution is the knockoff.
