Msz-b After The Accident

So back in October, I got into a pretty serious accident on my way to work. Some stupid idiot rear ended me on the freeway during rush hour. Luckily I wasn't seriously injured but I helluh shaken up. When I got out to see the damage, part of my bumper was on the ground..I literally almost cried when i saw that. Finally after almost 2 months, I got the car back. His insurance agreed to pay for all the modified parts that needed to be replaced. Though I had the chance to go with a different look this time around, I decided to stick with the same parts except the wing. Got rid of the mintblue and went with the vertex. For such a minor change, I think the car looks alot cleaner. I'm happy

I'm normally not a fan of lip spoilers but the car looks AWESOME! Sorry about the accident but glad to see the car in one piece again.
