It was a 16/17 year old kid. I was backing out first and then he also started backing out. I was honking like a b***h since it was a tight spot and I couldn't just go forward out of it. Then he hit me. He got out and was saying stuff like "s**t sorry bro that's my fault, call me if you want to get it fixed (because it wasn't that bad.)"

So I call the guy a week later telling him going to get it fixed he says "Aww s**t alright just tell me how much it is."

I'm guessing this kid can't pay for it himself so he tells his dad a different story to try and not get in trouble.

His dad says that it wasn't the kids fault and it was both of our faults. He suggested tell the insurance or he won't pay it. Tell the insurance 2 teenage males got in a crash? Great f**kin idea!

It was on private property and didn't exceed $1000 so cops won't give a s**t. And if I take it to court it's a he said she said thing so I probably won't win. No witnesses either.

Don't plan on it, just some simple clean stuff.

And yeah I know about the subs, it's only the covers that are beat up though. Those things have been bumping daily for about a year now. And i'm the 2nd or 3rd owner of them lol.

Update: HKS installed! It looks and sounds great, if anything it's a little quiet but it's better than being too loud.

Yes I know my car is dirty, rained pretty hard the last couple days.

Looks good so far. Don't do lip or gril unless it's slammed. It just doesn't flow right otherwise. Just my .02$

Front lip and grill came in today! :woot:

Grill took longer than I expected to get on, lip isn't on yet since I'm going to buy some double-sided tape before I mess with it.

Pics up soon!
