That was done on 12/27/2005
It was fixed, aligned and ready for deport from the garage where it was fixed on 1/22/2006
The guy who fixed it was insanely awesome, he was bored one night so he slapped on my new rims, put Falken Ziex's on them, and painted my calipers red for no extra charge!!
Makes me wanna total it again so he can do more cool stuff
j/k about that last part

The guy aligned everything back to factory specs to hundreths of an inch!
