I cant come out tonight got lots of laundry to do. A lil pissed to actually drive the 8 as well. The front end is passable but you can tell soemthign aint right besides the lip not being there and the front plate zip tied to the rotor accent since the lisence bracket was giving us issues last night. But im kind of glad the plate aint on the gril again though to be honest lol.

Thanks for the offers guys but it's cool luckily for me I didnt get mechanical damaged like poor Cliff. Hopefully his power steering is working again. Although my horn sounds funny now low and muffled....

I hope Kimmi doesnt have to go to the extend of having to replace all the carpeting and seats....

For me its just a matter of getting a new body kit I suppose....it just aint gonna happen any time soon.

Its cool bro...maybe the burnout kit just expired its time frame to be on my 8 who knows....Ihave been conteplating switching kits...(yeah Im trying to pull a chirs and have 17 differant looks within a year, lol).

I mean by the time i realized there was a lake on 17 there was no where else to go but forward. If the weather wasnt so shitty I couldve reversed back towards BK and took the back way to route 3. But i wasnt gonna chance that w/cars not being able to see swerving and all the f'ed up weather conditions that was going on.

The worse thing that happened luckily to me was just the lip was lost and the front end isnt perfect any more....

that would be more like "within a year of owning the car"

if anyone needs help getting their car back together I got tools and can help out (not around this weekend, but next should be good..) how about we take over chris' garage for a reinstallfest?

Well, whoever needs some help getting their car roadworthy let me know

Cliff - I was just working on my power steering recently so I can definitely help you out there

Kimmi - I have a real nice heat gun that can dry out the interior no prob.

Anyone else is free to join/help etc.

If you all want to meet up somewhere sometime this week we can all knock out the issues no prob. Maybe Chris' garage if he is nice enough to let us use it.

Dude, if you are going to get a different kit, get the FEED kit. It is by far the best looking kit I have ever seen on an 8.

THANKS CHRIS....

he is about to send me a pic but from the sound of it it doesnt consitute enough to mend it back together again...

Yeah dave i waited 3 freaken months for that badge which I could still keep just get a differant front end that will flow w/my skirts and rear spats....it just won't be the "OFFICIAL BURNOUT" 8 of the east any more...

I could always flip the badge Im sure some Burnout owner would like it...I also have a 2nd banner like the one on my winshield now but the letter are black not white - looks sick though.
