I'm dying to see what wheels you're planning on getting.
Thanks! At least you did your own damage, I took mine to a car wash place I usually go to and they drove over the piece of metal that they line the tires with and damaged my front lip. Lesson learned

As for wheels I'm so indecisive, I can't choose...

I actually think Rash already has some Graphite Vossen CV1s if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks, Kevin. Are you still getting wheels?

At first they wouldn't take the blame for it, but after reaching my boiling point they decided to pay for the repair. The bad thing is I can't even choose where to get it fixed so I'm worried whoever they take it to won't make it worse. Good thing it's a rep or else things would've gotten ugly

I know, I was going to take it to Mad Mods because I wasn't happy with the fitment anyways. The owner said there was a sign saying that they're not responsible for damage to sun visors, chrome parts...basically anything aftermarket which I did read. However, I didn't know they put it through the machine to wash it, and they should've known it was too low to drive over it...even one of the workers noticed that I lowered my car. I'm pretty much screwed cause it's either fix it his way or pay out of my own pocket and fix it somewhere else. After the incident I went to the body shop that painted my lip kit and he said to fix it was $300, so I'd rather wait for the other shop to fix it and if I don't like it I'll just go to Mad Mods. *Sigh* such a stressful situation and it would happen the week of the BBQ.

Peter, did you end up getting a new lip or was he able to fix it for you?

Ask bob he can do it for $300. Its worth a shot. Bob repaired both pieces of my lip and made it one again lol. Amazing job, still fits the same and there aren't any seems what so ever.

I'd honestly ride it out with that lip. I've had to repair my lip twice now, **** happens. That's very minor lol.

Yeah, that's true. I've heard great things about Bobby's work. I'd rather bust my own lip than have someone else do it, though. Just causes more BS, but whatever. I'll see you guys on Sunday!
