The Bad News : took out the front bumper,scratched the rear bumper,cracked my Z3 fender straight in 1/2...


The Good News : I ordered all new bumpers and fenders and get a new paint job...plus I got the Quad Conversions Afterburner tail lights tongue.gif

Hopefully in the spring my beast will be back...


Awww...any pics of the damage?

QUOTEBender:Blackmail is such an ugly word. I prefer "extortion." The "X" makes it sound cool.
Does this qualify as grounds for a divorce?

We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.

My son is 14 months...and no way in HELL will him or his mom be going near my keys...unless it's to a volvo awd with roll cages and bumper guards with rams..aha

I got the 2x red and the white...just because I don't feel like dealing with cops more than I have to already. :-(

I have a set of the quad rears that I have put LED Bulbs in!! Defiantly the way to go.

2X Stop/Tail (Outers are sides/brakes and inners are Sides/Fog)

the centre's are indicators but haven’t quite worked out reverse lights yet, but would you believe this legal!!!! in the UK anyway.
GAAAH! 500 dollars?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Well,my car doesn't look stock...or JDM...I might even pick up an invader CF hood,haven't decided yet. My engine runs awesome so making the car look nice is also fun. A lot of people mod the crap out of their motor to make their car faster and do it the wrong way so it breaks faster...but trust me...as soon as my motor goes...a 3sgte is getting dropped into it. I own a 97 Celica 5-Speed and a 92 Celica GT 5-Speed....My 92 has some balls and I drive it in the winter,but...I absolutely love the way my 97 handles...smoother than any car I've driven that hasn't cost $50k +
Sorry to hear what happened. I kinda feel for ya cause I just wrecked mine this morning in that white stuff called snow. I'm gonna need a new front end, possibly a hood, or fenders. I was wondering....where did you buy your parts from? Are you going with a different color paint this time around or sticking with black?
