Front bumper is damaged but I believe the crash bar is intact. Steering wheel air bag did deploy. Luckily it was slow speed (roughly 25mph) and I didn't hit a tree or anything. Just went into tall brush. I'm pretty sure salvageable but he passenger rear quarter panel has me worried. Undercarriage is good.

Damn dude! I'm really sorry to see that! Hope you are back on the road asap!

As for me, I got my windows tinted Friday 35% all around. I tried taking pictures but its a pain to try and capture its true look with an iphone. I was talking to the shop about clear bra options and for $1400 they would do the whole car...Has anyone done this? It would give me an excuse to go nuts with paint correction so it would look flawless under the clearbra. I noticed Kenchan going nuts with the clearbra film recently and thought I might try to do it myself but patience is not one of my strongpoints...

Removed my headlights so that I can send them in to Daedalus Customs in Maryland to have them customized and also received my Nismo Carbon Fiber B-Pillar inserts and put those on too. The inserts look great. Looking forward to having the headlights done. Gonna suck being without my car for 2 to 3 weeks while I wait to get them back.

I really like the look of the black door handles, really adds a nice pop to your car. What % tint is that?

Funny snippet...When I moved back to Michigan from Phoenix AZ I got pulled over in OK with the uhaul truck for being within 300' of the rear end of a semi...kicker is the semi passed me and then pulled into the right lane and then I got pulled over lol. I had a family friend and my mom driving my car behind us and her husband is a Michigan state trooper. After he made them pull in front of the uhaul and he got the full story he was the nicest guy ever. I wish I could remember his name to put in a good word on his behalf.

What soap are you using for that kind of foam? I am using Megs NXT ultimate wash. I think I have 3 gallons left lol. If I mix 2 OZ in my foamer it looks like that.
