Have been working my tail off lately! So many people have come to me for headlight modifications and I now run a semi-side business

At this rate, I may be able to order some wheels within the next month or two!

I was going to update with some good news this week when I have some stuff arriving to my doorstep but this decided to happen first...

A truck in front of me shot a 1x4 wooden plank into my front bumper and the reaction time was too slim I couldn't avoid it. This was on the highway so 80mph rotating wheels driving over the plank was just unavoidable. Guy ran off.

The good news out of it is that my friend got me an unforgettable hookup with her friend at a paint shop and they will be repainting it this week(end). But this thread will be updated soon with the new parts

Look at the bright side of things just the bumper...AND NOT THE LIP. That sucks major wang but it will get fixed.

The lip has some damage and I want to replace it soon. You can see the chips on the left side of the pic. There are a couple more and cracks underneath and on the side

Glad to here she's getting fixed up quick time.

I still had an hour and a half drive to go and all I could think about was catching up to the truck and slashing the tires
