Default Argh!!!

I can't believe it...on the highway today, a piece of metal was spinning towards me (it looked like a brake rotor head shield). I couldn't change lanes, was blocked by cars...so I had to grin and bare it. I struck it. There's a nick on the bottom part of the bumper now. I only have 3k on the odometer too. *sigh*

Oh well, atleast I do have a GReddy lip on the way...so it should cover it up....and I do plan on getting a body kit in the future...though I should be glad I wasn't driving my Eclipse....since it is so low, it would have probably ended up in the front mount intercooler....

Sorry to hear about your incident. Hopefully the lip will cover it and you'll be okay with the bumper. Your lucky it was only a nick!

Sorry about the damage, epecially since your car is so new. But I guess that's life. Last summer I was at the gas station and noticed something sticking out of my front bumper...needless to say I was suprised
