yup currently it's held on with a zip tie on each end, since i don't have the hardware and dealer prices are monstrous

truthfully i have no idea I'm guessing it was a dealer car since it still has the plastic film on the floor, and came with some dealer check lists in it. Yet when i got the papers all it said was that an insurance company sold it to me. It wasn't all that bad new door bumper and quarter ~1k in parts and labor


if anyone has access to carfax and wouldn't mind checking for me just shoot a pm

^ i was expecting a "don't wrap her around a tree" comment, but yeah definitely will.

btw heres a story of what happened today on the way back home

me, mom and brother went to pick her up so i jumped in and started driving home, halfway there was a little traffic jam. Well as I was pulling up to the car in front I overheard a guy in a prelude scream out "look at that 8", once I looked over I noticed him pointing to me
