Gave it a proper cleaning. Ammo Paint Regiment works wonders followed up by some carnauba wax.

Something is bent too(lower control arm?) but it all seems like a days worth of work and no calls to the insurance. |

You can pull your SRS control module and get it wiped for about$50. Replace the airbag and do that. No more airbag light. Toyota will try to replace about a dozen components costing a few grand. Hey an airbag off the forum or ebay. Just make sure it's OEM, not knockoff(they exist). Wheel and control arm etc are easy to replace. I did this exact thing 2 years ago but a lot harder. If you already called insurance, take the check and fix it yourself. You'll end up with a big pile of money left over

This was my first time when an airbag went off, and i wasn't thinking straight (had ringing/hearing loss in my ears for 3 days, afterwards). The next day i immediately regretted it, because my insurance premium is going to destroy me now, and i could have just paid a few thousand out of pocket to fix it. I've had this car for under a year, and have already clayed/waxed it 3 times, rustproofed, etc. so calling insurance was an emotional decision, not a rational one. Oh well, you live and you learn, i guess... 31,000$... Last edited by murk; 06-12-2016 at 10:40 AM. |

There's a metric fuck ton of pollen and cottonwood seed flying around out here like it' nobody's business. Unless a car is garage kept,washing it is a losing battle in my area. At least I got a couple of pics to see what it looks like in the sparkling sun all cleaned up. |

I drove around for about 8 months all over Texas without a front plate. And then one day taking the long way home, a random state trooper pulls me over for not having one. Only got a warning at least.
