Last summer I caught a flat t and had my full size spare (and lugs) in the trunk. I had to call roadside assistance because I left the key to remove the cover to access the wheel lugs in my garage. Lesson learned.

What kind of bumper is that?

That's why I always keep my factory lugs in a small box with the spare.

Thanks guys. It's actually a front replica RMM valance. I got it for dirt cheap from a friend... so cheap I couldn't pass it up. I've been actually been trying to find the vertex kit for a good price but it's been so hard. I'm should be purchasing some BC coilovers this week - going through a vendor on CL. So I can't wait.

As far as the lug nuts go. My stock GS430 wheels will not hold w/ aftermarket lugs, so when I blew out the rear tire - I searched all over my trunk and couldn't find any stock lugs (bc they are actually bigger/thicker). I already attempted to put on my aftermarket lugs w/ my stock wheel and the wheel just slips right off. I usually keep extra lugs in my trunk, etc. But on that day: Fail.

The bumper was pulling apart :T
I'll post pics of when we were trying to get my car OFF the flatbed. It took us over half an hour to get my car off, and keep in mind, there wasn't any "traction" as I was trying to move my car forward as the tower strategically move the bed the opposite direction.

What suspension are you on?

Vossen Wheels

Ouch! That really sucks, and its hard to see that getting up on the trunk with the bumper/lip dragging like that hopefully you can get it fixed and back on the road quickly, I;d like to see more of that bumper/lip, I've never seen that one before, to my knowledge.

I have KYB shocks and an old pair of cut eibach springs on temporarily.

I mentioned it above. It's a replica RMM front. It's actually a front valance (goes half way to the bumper).
I think it's clean, it would be cleaner if I could get a hold of some vertex side and rear kit!! (Anyone?) lol

Also, I'm Thinking about matte wrapping my car also. My gf's brother-in-law owns a graphics design company. He told me matte black (for instance), I'd have to buy it by the yard. The materials are expensive. He'll help me wrap the car and told me just to buy the materials. Shops typically charge anywhere from $3,400-5,000 for a wrap job here. I've already gotten him and his guys to wrap my friend's new IS-F. It's pretty dope. I think I may play around w/ picking colors bc I won't keep it on for over a year.

My friends at a shop up north side of Houston has a few of their GS' matte wrapped. Let me find a pic on my phone ...
