SHE'S HOME!!!!!

Well after exactly 2 months in the body shop, my X is finally home!!! Body shop did a great job on the repairs.





And while they had her, I had them install a little something up front - color-matched skid plate:

After 2 months I had forgotten how tight the steering was on this thing. I had a Nissan Rouge and although it wasn't bad, it felt like a go-cart compared to the X. I was driving the X home from the body shop yesterday and felt like I was driving a Mack truck!! But after my hour-long drive into work today, I have gotten used to her once again.

Now I just need to get my 215 reps on and I'll be big-pimpin!!!

Skid plate came from Morristown and yes, I had the body shop paint it while they were doing my repairs.

Angel eyes are from jlevi - used the ol' "bake and break" install.

Damage was rear bumper and hatch - that's all that got painted (and the skid plate).

Pricing out tires right now - unfortunately the Toyo Proxes STII are not available in many sizes yet, so I guess I will have to get the ST's for now.
