Nothing, surprisingly. Just scuffed up the front bumper cover under the driver side. Just need some sanding and respray.

My front lip is already missing a little paint on the lower parts of the lip, but I'm low enough that you can't see it at all on the 5AD lip. Figure its just going to happen again, lol.

My last car was stanced & slammed, so I know the feeling. I was so happy when I got this car how smooth it was on the bottom! Now I'm back to rough, unshaven grizzliness

In any case, I really just need a decent shop to sand and spray. I went to King of the Dings and they quoted ~$450. Just looking for recommendations in case anyone knows of a quick, not bad shop.

If any of you have ever wondered...91 is the max speed for cruise control.

Installing spec d headlights and buddy club tails tonight will post pics when done. The headlights are a pain just got the bumper off and one headlight off. Woo. Racing daylight!

seriously? that kinda sucks. If you can legally go 85 then I wanna cruise at 95

These just arrived for me today. Spec D headlights with 6000k HID bulbs, already have the ballasts. Got the HID bulbs fit in and drilled a hole with a stepped drill bit. Not sure what all the fuss was about the H1 bulbs not fitting but I had no fitment problems.

Had my windshield replaced after the rock went through it earlier in the week. Can somebody do me a favour and check your original windshield and tell me if there's any moulding around the outside on the window? My edge is exposed all the way around the top and sides and the layers in the glass is very obvious. I don't remember noticing this before and want to see if it's right, or if they forgot to put it together all the way.

The edges are exposed. The seal is pretty much behind the windshield - not around the edges like on other/older cars.

I got them into the car they look great. Although they are so bright at night the exposure was too much for my phone to handle. I'll post what I got. The install was a not too bad except the bumper was hell to put back on because the body shop who replaced it broke it and used glue to make it appear fine without telling me. So that resulted in me needing to cut the glue off and ultimately will result in me needing another bumper although cosmetically it doesn't show really.
