I wish I could show you some of the tests I've put cars through... I've broken wheels off, and then we beefed up the broken components

There's a chance you could have a bent tie-rod, and your toe might need adjustment, but your LCAs, knuckles, struts, etc. should all be fine. Good luck with the insurance. Sorry about the trouble... I'd be so pissed.

Also, interesting how strongly that side-marker overlay is hanging on there... Would've thought that would swipe right off!

Body shop estimate received today. No suspension damage. Thank goodness. Still going to be a 2K repair plus they will have to redo the Opti-Coat Pro+ to the tune of 1K. Really glad I have good insurance.

BTW - My insurance company is convinced that she lied so they are going after her coverage.

Edit: The side marker is broken in half. The only thing holding it together is the Big Worm film. I put a piece of double side tape at the top to hold it in place.

And your best bang for the buck is the throttle controller!

Tinted the tail lights and added 6000k HID bulbs

to remove the yellowish look of the lights. Looks amazing now and compliments the DRLs well.

^Goals^ love the RS badge location on the back, did you remove your side badges as well?

Glen e · 11-19-2016, 09:26 PM

Added bigworm rocker stripe, probably gonna ask him to cut me a piece to extend to the rear wheel so it runs the whole side:

warriordave927 · 11-19-2016, 10:03 PM

I like the way it looks now,the upper stripe ends just about at the same place as the lower so looks like theyre supposed to work together

AirplanesRLife · 11-19-2016, 10:14 PM

Detailed it. And added details.
