shit dude! hope you're not planning on pay for that out of pocket

OUCH.

Hope you don't have to pay to repair that.

-hS

daym that sucks....

damn man that front looks nastier than moostafa's.

hope you get it fixed soon.

wow looks like you HAD a good setup, what exactly happened?

i was at the 60W and 605S intersect, there was a car in front of me, and a semi on my side with a 40 foot container. when i was turning, i saw the container sliding toward me, i am not sure if it actually hit me, but my car became jerky. so i stepped on brakes ( bad idea ) thinking ill let him pass by first. but i lost control and hit the guard rail.

damn sorry to hear that man. damn

damn bro, my eyes are hurting from seeing the pics. But look at the bright side maybe it's time for the insurance to get you an authentic mint blue frontend :)

the police said dont report it to insurance because it doesnt look like the semi hit me at all, might have just been me panicking at the moment. so instead of fixing it, i might replace it with carbon creation full CF kit.

uhhhh whats a semi lol...

^^^^^ uhhhh i wouldn't joke in the thread, the guy seriously banged up a real nice 8

I think he was seriously asking what a semi was. (think 18-wheeler BTW)

Man, I hate to see stuff like that. At least you are thinking about turning this into an opportunity!

I would agree. I say wide body kit would look nice.

Yep...a lot of people don't know what a semi is...most think big truck...or 18-wheeler.

Sorry to hear about the 8 man...the curse of the silver continues. :(

Sorry about your 8, I hope you get it fixed ASAP. Looks nasty...

At least you didn't end up like the guy in the Audi in that recently famous video of him being crunched against the wall by that ass in the semi.

Glad your OK.

You must have hit the brakes pretty hard!

well i dont think i hit my brakes that hard, but i do have MS pads. =P
to everyone: lazi is seriously a good guy, he is helping me getting my car fixed today !!! i am getting the full mint blue replica from him :rock:

its a ti grey damn it ! lol

this sux man..sorry to hear about this mike...i hope you get everything up and running soon..

Go Lazi!

thanks for the support everyone.
i'd like to thank lazi, he hooked it up with a new mint blue front, mint blue sides, and veilside D1-GT rear, and he took me home today because i dropped my car off at the bodyshop he recommended. ill post pictures of my car when it gets done.

oh how sweet....= P

I'll raise a toast to lazi after work - RX8 brothers forever :beer05:

aww.. lookie! mike <3 sam. :rofl:

so what made you settle on veilside rear instead of mintblue?

give sam a kiss for me.
did u guys spoon after he took u home??

hahahaha good one guys. hey mike you know my friend michael chu dont you ? :mdrmed:

i cant wait for my car to get out of the bodyshop now. i think i am the first guy in the states to do mint blue front, mint blue sides, and veilside rear. muahahahaha

n the michael chu comment goes out to bryan also, hahahahahaha do you have any idea what it means ?

n now i am just posting for my pathetic post counts
must post more useless things

this is the most you've posted.. and its cuz of an accident. hahaha

i know, accidents always turn out to be a good thing for me. hahahahaha

Well I already exspressed my symathy on MSN to ya but i'll do it hear as well. Sorry to hear about the unfortunate event however, glad to hear your getting a sweet new kit.

Holy shit dude. I'm sorry to see this! Yeah, that was a lot worse than mine. Glad to hear you are getting it fixed, and hooked back up quickly. Keep us posted.

how about you give me a kiss, but yea no problem mike. i did was i would for anyone that needed some help, dude i told you tho, i feel ya, i been in an accident, and it sucks. so i did what i could to help =)

Sam

isn't that what you had on before? anyways, sorry to hear about that, hopefully it wont cost too much. is your wheel and tire on the passenger front going to need replacing?

he's getting a "full" kit now, not just front and sides.

yeah, but hes getting a different rear so that ruins the whole thing :)

not really, the veilside rear will go with my sideskirts nicely since they are both very aggressive.

besides, ill have the veilside andrew evolution V to go with veilside rear.

im talking about ruining the "full mintblue" setup not ruining how the car looks.

Whats all this sad talk? I cant see the pics? Some help please

you cant see any pictures of my wreck on the first page ?

i never had the full mint blue set up, i only had front and sides before. the rear was stock.

OMG Titanium!! Hadn't seen this post till now. Sorry to hear about your ride getting messed up like that.

Big props to Lazi being a cool guy as usual.

Can't wait to see new pics when you get her all done up.

yea same here cant wait to see your new setup, never seen the VS rear either so i want to see how that will turn out with the mintblue sides. hopefully that bodyshop will fix everything up nice.

no biggies, she is going to be more badass than before.

:(

I know you all have been rambling on about nothing but I had a short story to share. My buddy bought a 04 S2K in GA. We drove down to pick it up, it was immaculate. Not a chip, scratch or dent on it. Well a short story shorter, on the way back a semi blew a retread and it slammed into the front. Bye bye air dam and hello jacked up bumper. I hate semis
