EJ6 got PWNED @ the carwash (56k putt putt).

So today, after i wetsanded and rubbing compounded my headlights, (which did not turn out as nice as I had hoped), I decided to drive over to the hand wash. (Usually I would wash my own car but I was tired and it needed it pretty bad). So I arrive and the guy tells me I need an outside wash because I'm too low to go through the carwash (all gravy, no big deal), so i drop extra for the outside wash since my ground clearance is low with my ABS Fugen lip, and I head over the Jack in the Box to get some food.

Upon return, what do i see but my lip hanging from the front of my car. Ugh, I put my LA hat on again and my sunglasses and head outside to stir some trouble. Some tool decided to drive it through the wash when it specifically said on my window in whatver their marking s**t is that it was to be washed outside. So I put up a pissed front, ( I wasn't too upset, it was already cracked before you guys remeber) and sat down and let s**t work out. 45 minutes later, and the owner saying he can get it fixed for 50 at this shop I tell him to f**k himself and it's worth 75 + Paint since I had painted it. I took 70 instead of nothing nad headed down to China Town and picked up a Urthane Mugen Lip for $130. So I'm happy, got rid of the ABS fugen, and picked up a Urthane Mugen in an afternoon.

(And now that I have paint exp. it will turn out good this time :D , or i'll just leave it to the professionals :roll: )

Here it is with some new shots.

do you still have your amber covers in your headlights...??? im thinking about opening up my headlights again and putting them in cuz that'll look better then the "clear", more like brownish look they give when its dark out.

that was an abs one so it was actually worth 75 only and it was cracked so i was happy to take anything. i', usually a humble person and would have let it go but i felt like getting something out of it.

i got aftermarket clear headlights, so there is no amber cover, and the amber side piece is clear in them. So i opened up, taped off the reflectors, and then put the clear piece (amber on stock headlights) back in. (that piece on the front of the light at the bottom)
