Well about a month ago I hit some black ice at about 15mph and nailed a curb almost head on.

Did a bit of damage. Mostly suspension damage. The car got towed to one bodyshop who was back logged well past christmas. So I pulled it and sent the car to a buddies shop. They paid the additional towing and did some additional paint work.

Im sure some of you have seen these pics. But for those who havent feel free to throw out your opinions!


When I first got her.

Before the wreck

After the wreck





Getting towed. Managed to drive it back the 2 blocks or so back to the apartment luckily.


And now!
Excuse the dirty car and missing center caps (painting the bowties on them red)

 

Looks good.

Get the SS lips and you could fool people. lol

 

good ****!

 

Looks great man!

 

looks good. ever thought of lowering it?

 

its already on Eibach Pro's. Which I got for a good price through CED. But when the stock shocks/struts go I will upgrade to pedders and FE5 shocks/Struts.

But it does sit a good amount lower than it did stock. Eibach said .5 in the rear. After 15k miles the rear is now a full inch lower and the front is a half inch lower. Not a massive lowering. But the car performs well on these springs.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

 

Remember kids, snow tires were invented for this type of reason...


...and that said, it looks good. The red black contrast always looks nice.

 

looks good but how many times have u been pulled over for that smoked front plate cover haha i had one on the rear for less than 2 hours and got popped

 

Honestly ive driven with snow tires and where I wrecked it wouldnt of mattered. It was a flat out patch of ice. Now granted I wasnt on the right tires. But I will say this after driving for 13 years and this being the first car ive had with esc I dont like how it steps in. I actually find the car far easier to control with all the systems switched off. Though dont recommend that for new drivers.

I got the license plate cover at autozone and havent once even been asked about it in over a year of having it on the car.

 

you car looks so much like mine, except you're a coupe & im a sedan!

with that said, i like your taste lol

 

Thanks!

Just needs more power now to backup the looks

 

I hear ya. My bro has an 08 G5 GT with all the stability control crap and I hate it. I prefer mine with nothing but ABS. But even then the ABS doesn't REALLY do that much more...lol.

 

nice. but I liked the stock silver wheels! lol

 

They were curb rashed from the accident. I got paid by insurance to fix them but pocketed the money to help pay for some black PF01s come mid summer!

 

boooooooooooost it

 

Nice looking balt man!
Lower it a little bit and it will be ****!

 

***** sick son!

 

I liked the silver wheels better too.

 

Thanks for the compliments.

Like I said I only painted the wheels black due to curb rashing. Im still on the fence about it but the car does seem to flow better and has gotten more compliments with black wheels than it did with silver.

But like I said I do plan on some black PF01s for it

 

I like you car in your sig!!!
