Winning Blue Adventure

Well got my windows tinted 20% around... on the way there though, someone slammed on their brakes on 520 floating bridge and since the hurricane NW style was comming down, my brakes were wet and i slammed into the back of them... 1st initial look, was nothing horrible, my driver side bumper was sticking out the side, and there was spider cracking of the fiberglass in the front, and i thought the grill was cracked... 2nd look, popped the bumper back on, that grill was actually some square removable piece? for towing i think? and the spidering of the fiberglass wasnt too horrible, and theres a small bulge, youd have to be looking to see the damage, which is good since the lady informed me she had no insurance...

Well guess that means the car made up its mind about what mods it wanted 1st, the stereo or the body kit... guess its body kit time

Tint looks awesome though, I only trust one place for tinting, even though I live in Marysville, I drove to Puyallup to get it done.

Oh and when I parrallel parked in front of Platinum records to buy more djing stuff, I ran over a beer bottle, so far no air leak.

=) What a shitty day.

sorry to hear about your crummy day but on the upside your getting a new kit on it and you got your window's tinted? Is the 20% the legal limit? I am not sure what I have on mine cause my husband let me buy my winning blue as a V-day gift from the dealership with it included along with the chrome wheels. I gotta say our color of cars look soooo much better with tinted windows. What other mods do you have on yours, just out of curiousity? I am going to get the fender strakes when the weather gets good again next year.

Ill probably start procuring the MS body kit, Im trying to get all MS Items...

zoom_zoom33 : nope tinting is it, Im trying to procure all the large ticket items first (body kit) being the most expensive. then ill work on the cheaper stuff like the shift *****, the strakes etc.

it doesnt really matter if she doesnt have insurance since you hit her from behind, unless it was a scam to get money. Id tell your insurance that if your going to open a claim with them.

Sucks about the crash though, too bad. Sounds like the speed was pretty low when you actualy hit. Is your VFAD in good shape or did it crunch?
