Destroyed my front lip! *&%(*$&^!!
 
Ugh...pulling out of the work parking lot and ripped off the right side of my Leg lip. Thankfully only the lip was damaged.

DUDE, after the car sat for years? Sorry man, that sucks.

pdxhak 08-23-2017 02:23 PM

Thanks man. Yeah today was the first day back on the road too.

The curb at work extends to the side of the car and basically goes all the way back. When pulling out I turned too soon.

I wanted a new lip but not this soon!

9krpmrx8 08-23-2017 02:27 PM

It's painful to look at. Time for a BMW.

pdxhak 08-23-2017 02:36 PM

You driving a BMW now?

Jedi54 08-23-2017 02:38 PM

OUCH.
that pains me to look at. :sad:

yea, 9k is a bmw driving commie.

pdxhak 08-23-2017 02:53 PM

Should I try to fix it? Buy a new lip? New bumper? Convert to S2? Buy a bimmer?

zoom44 08-23-2017 03:02 PM

ouch :(

Fixing it would take skills. Converting to S2 would be pricey. There are stupid deals to be had on various luxury performance cars.

Like this:

Jedi54 08-23-2017 03:23 PM

unfortunately I don't think there's any fixing that. (for a price that makes it worthwhile)
don't convert to S2, that's ghey. :lol2:
and bimmer? come join the club! We haz cookies.

pdxhak 08-23-2017 03:28 PM

I'd love an e9 3.0 csl, e24 m6, or a e34 m5 estate :) Still need to fix the 8 though. Maybe r-magic lip?

9krpmrx8 08-23-2017 03:31 PM

Rmagic lip would be nice. I have been looking for a good deal on a used E39 M5 as a project.

pdxhak 08-23-2017 03:58 PM

simple and clean is what I'd want. good for the dog, kids and whatever crap I need to haul around and still carve up the backroads :)

^still love the 8 man :)

BigCajun 08-23-2017 04:59 PM

Jk.
I'm used to it.
That sucks, mine is in less than great shape.

Maybe someone's telling you it's time for a new body kit.
:)

I love wagons, I have my eye on an E91 locally that has been for sale forever, I'd love to N55 swap it.

Ow - i hit the mazdaspeed bumper on a curb the other day in a parking lot, was a shitty time - got a little bent and spidercracks in the paint at the bottom, but not that bad

Jedi54 08-24-2017 12:17 AM

I wish I would have kept my '83 Datsun Maxima wagon, straight 6, RWD.
Saw this one on PMR.

9krpmrx8 08-24-2017 11:35 AM

I like performance wagons, slow ones don't interest me.

BigCajun 08-24-2017 11:53 AM

Whatever.
Paid $1500 for it in '91, got my first +90 MPH speeding ticket in it cruising down I-49 near Shreveport.
IIrc, same engine as the 280Z without a turbo.
