I heard you had Type-S diffusers so they would match with the Type-S bumper.

No need to go spending money on Type-S headlights when you can make your existing ones look like Type-S headlights.

(Mainly refering to the poster on last page who mentioned chrome headlights wouldn't match the Type-S bumper)

Damn man. Glad you're ok. RJ bumper instead. Dopefedz has your same color and it looks real nice.


Same tires I met you with? Those tires were almost bald. :x

Glad to hear you're safe and sound. I thought you were gonna say you were doing donuts around a light pole again.

And my - do the base 07-08 bumper unless you plan on doing the Type-S rear also.

Another vote for the base front end. Sucks that you're in this situation though, I know how well you took care of your car.

BUT it's the best feeling in the world when you see your car repaired and all purdy again, especially after presumably driving around in a small rental.

Don't forget to test drive it before signing off, and not taking it back unless it's perfect, etc. etc.

Glad nobody was hurt, hopefully a lesson was learned. Take this as an opportunity to upgrade something on your car.

I opted out of a rental.

Since, I dont really need one, I didnt pay attention to what the ins. lady was saying.
something about paying out of pocket and getting reimbursed...or something like that.....


I'm not sure what she said.

I just said "No."

it would be nice to have a rental on the weekends....last night, I walked to a sushi restaurant. butt, during the week, I car pool.

Just saw this, so I'm late to the "party", but wanted to say - so sorry this happened to you. Been there with the damage to the TL and it was miserable. Hope the insurance company takes good care of you.

^ see when HE'S the one that wrecked, HE can't scold himself on bad driving...

I was definitely thinking the same thing though...

sure, it sucks what happened. but, honestly you can't expect much when it was obviously your fault for being a dumbass and taking a corner at a rate of speed you couldn't control.

to be fair....my first posts to all of you were: ARE YOU OKAY?
after the info(stupidity) comes out, then its fair game to poke fun.

the link that you posted retarded....isnt proving your case. LOL
Because the first post really was "Are you okay"
Lulz!!!!!!!!!!

Please try again.
