I wrecked my baby 2 weeks ago coming home late at night. Hit a curb head on and barely missed the light pole in front of me. The wreck took a hunk out of my wheel and pushed my front suspension to the left. Not really any body damage but now I'm getting a whole new front suspension.

I think it hurt me more than it did the car. SUCKS!!!! I love that car. Just got it in Feb after trading in an Xterra that I had. In October of 01 it was in a wreck also, but wasn't my fault. When it rains it pours!! :'(

I was thinking though.....while it's in the shop, now's the best time to get a spoiler. That's one thing I didn't get at the point of sale and wish I had. Has anybody had any experience with non OEM spoilers or should I stick with the OEM spoiler? Also where's the best place to buy them?

Thanks for any help.

btw: I didn't take pictures of the car. Couldn't find my smart media card but I do have pictures of my Xterra if anybody wants to see them.

 

oem. were you buzzed when you hit the curb?

 

cough, cough......so OEM eh? Should I get it painted at the shop or order it pre-painted?

Also, where do you suggest I buy it?

 

damn. least ya didnt fuck the body up dude! no physical scars



aint nothin wrong with gettin some new mechanicals

 

Yeah no kidding. Not much damage at all to the body, just pushed in the front panel some where the front wheel was pushed back.

I ordered the spoiler from autocarparts.com Man I miss my car!! I can't wait till mid next month!!!

 

It could have been worse

 

Nate:

Sorry to hear it bro... I almost caught a curb the other day--on my frickin block of all places!! When this happens I always tell myself to "dry out" for a while....

 

Sorry to hear about your car. At least you're ok.

 

You can go OEM for the spoiler, but it will cost you a fortune. Try http://www.wingswest.com ...they could be a lot cheaper!!

 

http://www.spoilerdepot.com/
they have it all

 

Damn...that site is much better than wingswest!!!

 

While you have it in the shop, why dont you upgrade your suspension with coilovers or springs and sway bars.

 

Yeah I really want to do that but I'm completely clueless on that stuff. I wouldn't know where to start. I do want my car lowered but I want to make sure I do it right. What you think the cost would be to lower the car and put the sway bars on?

Plus, how much should I lower it?

I'm scared to do too much to the car cause I'm afraid I'll f*ck it up.

Damnit I miss my car!! I'm driving a POS Ford F150 right now as a rental. Those sorry Fords have no pickup!! (no pun intended)
