The next project is looking like better wheels and tires. Very excited about tracking the car at least one time. Originally my goal was to just showcase the car since, remember, you don't track the daily.

Super clean looking despite the monster truck wheel gaps.

This is why I don't have a build thread, my car is a shitbox.

Don't remind me about those gaps haha. I don't think I could lower that car anymore because of how awful roads are where I live. I settled with at least having the tires flush to the body lines with the spacers.

I feel is only right to report this on the journal because I consider myself an honest person. I'm using this journal as a tool to record every modification/event this vehicle has partaken into for future plans such as a sale. Friday, March 12, 2021, my vehicle was damaged by a truck on the parking lot of my workplace. As what you can see on the photos below, the damage was pretty much the front bumper cover, with a small indent on the driver side front fender. The guy and his truck managed to clip the bumper just right with what I assume is tire or rear sensors, ripping the whole front bumper assembly. It can also be observed that the structural integrity of the car was untouched, by this I mean the front bash bar and frame. These vehicles have a fitting issue with the front bumper, so if anything, this comes as a blessing in disguise since a new bumper will mean new bumper clips and all pieces involved. Is just one of those things that as much as it sucks, at least it can be considered that things could've been much worse. I will update once the vehicle is out of the shop.

Initial estimate just came in. Should have the vehicle back on 3-25-2021. Came to about $1600 in repairs. Front Bumper is getting replaced, Driver side markers, and driver side front fender. I'm hoping the shop can salvage my front lip, even thought it's cheap, it's a pain to install and I'm not looking forward to that again.
