Had a lot of fun with some Z owners this past weekend. Unfortunately.....(:facepalm:)... A ladder fell out of the bed of a truck on the highway and I had to be the one to drive over it like a speed bump. I had no time, or room, to swerve out of the lane to avoid it without causing more damage. I pulled over to the side of the road only to see the truck driver pick up his completely demolished ladder and drive away. I was underneath my car at the time to check if I broke the oil pan or if anything was leaking. The car stalled, just cause it was a scary moment for me, so I couldnt just drive off after him... The front of my lip cracked in two spots, the bottom is scraped up and the section of the lip that connects it to the passenger side wheel well is almost cracked off.

I don't have any pics atm cause it is too late for my sick self to get out of bed and take any but I will post up tomorrow morning.

So I was thinking if I should just hold on to my lip til it comes apart or start looking into another one but still deciding whether or not to look into a new one or just get the same one.. Also, is it worth selling this one? Maybe someone can just bondo it back up and have it painted? (I can post pics tomorrow to show you guys)

Oh dude, that sucks...

Depending on how it looks I'd say leave it on there if it doesn't look to bad from the front. As long as its not gonna snap off when you're driving and get stuck under the car, rock it for a bit then replace it later on.

Yea I am really upset about that. I have been planning to look at another lip this year to change things up but I did not want the first one to end this way.. :shakes head:

So I was thinking of going for the GT style this time... what do you guys think?

I've been trying to decode if I like that one or not for a while now. Still can't. I'll probably go with a TS rep or the varies lip.

I like the GT lip. Is that an old pick or did they tag that building again? They were finally painting it the other day.

It is a recent pic actually. I have driven past this building once and this time stopped by to shoot. I noticed it all painted before but this time it was tagged up everywhere. So it got me some decent pics haha

I like that one a lot

Did a little bit of stealth-ing today. Need to finish the rear emblem tomorrow. Looked for a third color to match my red and CF scheme and I tried some gold today.. I have been going back and forth with this now but I think it would be a good match up. I would do my lugs, calipers and the silver bits on the side markers to completely get rid of the silver. I know it probably looks silly now with the tow hook but it's just a place-holder.
