Looks better... :ack:



Hit a patch of ice when trying to slow down to turn onto my street. The car could not turn so I tried to get back on the main road to avoid running off into the ditch. The snowbank was in my way. Hit it. Didn't feel that hard at all, I figured I probably lost the bottom spoiler...

Ouch. What's that going to cost you to fix?

I'm not upset about what happened at all, I actually laughed. I knew something would happen to me eventually. The circular hole is where the eye-hook goes for a tow. There's a cover for that but the snowbank broke it off.

The entire front end is basically one piece minus the small accessories such as the lip spoiler on the bottom, grilles, and foglights.

Maybe try a junk yard and hope for a heavily rear-ended or side-hit 9-3 in black?

God I love zipties. Whoever invented them should be given sainthood.

I literally zip-tied a guy's bumper (park ave) together at work one day. Local mail car, he doesn't care!!

I actually did something similar to my old 87 bonnie SE. It was owed by my brother and his wife at the time. She was going to work one winter morning and hit a patch of black ice and went off in the ditch and hit a tree...slowly...(she was unhurt) so the only damage was to the corner of the hood the front end of the front right fender, right headlight, right turn signal and the right side of the bumper cover got ripped off at the corner. I didnt use zip-ties but I used metal strips and small flat head bolts to put it back together. Almost couldnt tell anything was wrong with the bumper until you got close. Was that way until I sent it to the j/y...about 8 years.

Please turn a blind eye to the *shoot* rims and the grille, I will probably plan on doing something with the grille when it's warm.

And the sidemarker, although I had it here, has been misplaced, the body shop ordered a new one and will be here next week.

:laughing3: Gotta admit though, rims can give a car a brand new look for a considerably low price.
