I can't believe what just happened...I ripped my front lip going over a parking lot bump stop. Worst part is my body shop guys say they are too busy to take me in. I am really pissed. Pissed to no end cause it's my own stupid fault.

Yeah, that's whay hit me. Just had it redone by the dealers and it breaks again in the same spot. Same spot! What was, 2 or 3 months ago.

I'm thinking harder about just changing to the 97+ body pieces. Especially since I already have the sides.

Thats the problem with fiberglass; once it breaks at a spot it loses its integrity..

Sorry to hear about your accident reggie, but hey it could've been worse..

Yeah Reg, just change to the 97 front bumper if it's within your powers. I did...and actually I just had my first little minor scrape yesterday while leaving a friend's house. Bummed me out, but it's very minor so I'll get over it.

Good luck bro.

Damn bro, that sucks. Didn't you just curb a rim too? I think I remember you posting that. Some ex-girlfriend must have a voodoo doll of your car or something. Anyway, don't get discouraged. Get it fixed when you can, and keep your car the way it is now: hot as hell.

Ouch bro, thats a major bummer.. It'll be fine, just get it fixed. It really sucks when you know its your fault and that you might've been able to prevent it. but IMO if you can just go 97+.

SickSC3, that sucks man! I've got the same kit as you. Just had it painted over the weekend still gotta sand and buff, but just with it on I cant jack it up from the sides anymore, just the front and rear. It'll be reaalll close once I drop it. How bad is the damage and where did you lift it from?

I don't know about that voodoo stuff but I do know the dark side (satan) is out to kill, steal and destroy. He also wants to disrupt our lives and cause turmoil. Why did I go into this? Well, I am a Christian. Plus, a lot of things have happened to me all at once and I'm being tested. I'll survive and get through it. The dark side of the force can't seduce me...I know the power of the good side of the force.
Webstarr started this by mentioning the dark side, don't blame me.
