so sorry to hear Tan! Could have been much worse, is your Dinan exhaust ok though?

Think about it this way, at least you'll have brand new fresh rear and front bumpers after this!



And is it too soon for this.........dibs on 4.8 rear diffuser if you get a new one in the repairs? :)

Sorry to see that TMV. I would say time to mod but you already have.

OUCH!!! really sorry to hear that!!! glad, you are ok...

Thanks guys.
Look like those Chevy(s) team up against me there :angryfire
Could have been worse without the trailer hitches on mine and the Trailblazer there. 2 rear parking sensors also broke. I'd surely get the new front and rear bumpers.

TMV, that happens here in Minnesota more than people take dumps. Drivers up here are some of the worst I've seen compared to back home in AZ.

Now...go out to the gun range and empty some clips! :gun:

Let me guess, looking at their phone/texting?

All the rear ending that goes on in Jersey, I guarantee is responsible for half of it.

Fuck!

Bummer man. Glad all are ok.

I see young female drivers here in TX snapping Iphonre pics of themselves duck lipping with sideways peace signing with no hands on the wheel or eyes on the road at highway speed. If one wrecks into me she will have permenant duck lips. F'in unreal!

On topic, had cheap 2 element LEDs on the rear plate, one burned out so I ordered these.........

Over $30 but should last longer then the 7 mos I got out of the last set.

Sorry TMV. I'm sure you'll get it fixed good as new!

I came in to share I completed my axle & new rotors. X feels great!

looks like someone forgot to take their tourette medicine a couple posts ago ^:dunno:

Anywho, Thanks to all the awesome info and pics on this forum I went ahead and bought these headlights today...

K, before anyone screams at me cause they're chrome. I plan on opening them up and painting the inside shroud thing black and close them up with some good sealant for zero condensation problems. Seems the black housing ones aren't gonna be in stock for a while. I also went ahead and ordered some 6000k HID's to match my fogs. :D
Special thanks to TMV for helping me decide as its the same lights he had on his old girl.
