Nice^^^^to anyone seeing that, Powell €™s bushings are probably the best if money isn €™t a concern. Just saying. He also has control arms with his bushings in them as well.
John's products are the best. My wallet was just suffering from buying the kids their big Christmas present (4 days at Disney $$$$$$$). #feelsbadman
Got 35% window tint at around lunch today! Looks great and much better than having the absolutey zero amount of tint that the stock windows have! 1 more thing to scratch off the list
I was waiting at a light to turn left, the light turned yellow and I thought the oncoming traffic had sufficient room to stop, so I went to clear the light. Unfortunately the oncoming traffic felt they could make the light if they gave it just a bit more gas, and I got hit.
I've already been to a body shop and was quoted $2000 to fix it if I supply a donor car to get the new door and quarter.
I'm still waiting on a quote to get the wrap repaired
Car still runs and drives fine, tracks straight and true still. I have a slight vibration at 110km/h when going around a bend. The door won't open.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to go ahead and fix it, its just a question of when at this point. I need to find a shell in my area for cheap, which shouldn't be too difficult.

Wrap is 3M Satin Pearl White with Gloss Green Envy stripes
Initial cost for the satin pearl white was $2100 Canadian. The shop has since told me that because of the difficulty of the SS front and rear lips and the spoiler, the next Cobalt they do will be closer to $3000.
They have redone the wing, and the lips need to be redone, but I may get new ones first.
There are more pics of it a few pages back in this thread (pg 558)
The cheapest quote I got for standard pearl white paint was $4000. That was leaving windows in, masking around them. Other quotes I got ranged from $8-10,000 for pearl white.
The body shops I went to said they couldn't paint satin pearl white. I went to an auto body supply store and asked about the paint, the only "satin" paint they had was black, and it was $800 a pint (need roughly a gallon for a full car), and he hadn't seen satin pearl paints.

That's shitty man, at least you got a decent quote on the repair
Interesting... I may have to look into that in the future.
Hind sight always being 20/20...
The wrap isn't permanent. Its only been on the car since July and it is already showing signs of wear and tear. I've got stone chips in the vinyl in places you wouldn't normally expect to see a stone chip unless someone spun gravel at your car. There is also a tiny little nick on the trunk lid where my fingernail caught the vinyl, its that sensitive. And then there are the seems, because of the complexity of the spoiler, bumpers and the lips they are all covered in seems.
I would not wrap a whole car again
When I get this repair done I MAY get a price on getting the whole car done in that subaru color.
Interesting that the body shops didn't know of its existence, maybe its just too new for any cars with it to of come in yet...
Did hours of research and know I need to have it checked to see what is wrong with a sensor but if you lift the emergency brake just a little the car will shift normal. On the first notch the alarm warning went of so I lift it as much as it will go without hitting the first notch and it still shifts good.
