Ouch! Really sorry.
Parts is parts, though. I know you'll get her fixed up like new.

Haha true. It actually sounds even better at low RPMs, but much much worse in the mid and upper range. Rasp x 1,000,000. The sad thing is, I wasn't using the mirrors. I was completely turned around looking directly at where I was going. Futile. Quote:
I'm trying real hard to get just the piece I destroyed replaced, but it's not an easy task. I'm definitely going with a 60R though, no matter what. This exhaust is the shit.

I've also had my issues with the car going into reverse. Have some slight damage in front of the right rear since I could see jack even using the mirrors. Those are the moments you wish you had the BMW downward folding mirrors :confused: Sent using Tapatalk |

Here are some photos of the damage. Already have a whole new 60R in the mail and a new Cusco brace. Hopefully I can get this bumper cover replaced before my track day on Saturday, six days from now.

im sorry about your crack up. I just lost my front fender and splitter in the tiniest clip of a curb ... my first ever accident/incident in 14+ years of driving.
Anyways I am surprised you didnt take the front badge off I will probably be removing the front subaru badge when I respray my new bumper. weight off the front is weight off the front

you havent done any parts in carbon yet? simply removing stuff got you to 2400 pounds? how much do you think you could shed if you went carbon hood fenders, roof, trunk, doors?

It's hard to say. So far the only part I've made is a battery bracket. But I know I could make all of those parts way lighter than what Seibon does. Especially the doors. But just a really rough estimate, I'd say 2 pounds off the hood, 2 pounds each off the fenders, 1/2 a pound off the bumper cover, 2 pounds off the roof, 20 pounds each off the doors, 3 pounds off the trunk, and maybe another 1/2 a pound off the rear bumper cover. So... ~52 pounds maybe? That's based off zero science and 100% how I feel about things lol.

Got me new bits on. Actually, I did 5 days ago, but I'm just now getting around to posting the pictures. Still need a new bumper cover though.
