Well, someone pulled out in front of me and totaled the car. Had the car for just about 6 years and 9 months. She was awesome while she was around. Now on with pics...

real quick....

HOW?

 

[GooseS2000]

more picture and more detail into the story of what happen to ur car on the strike?

 

[DaGFTDOne]

Looks good but what happened, looks like you rear ended a truck

 

[NOFX]

Looks better now than before the wreck imo.

 

[civicboy18974]

id say get some different wheels but thats just me

 

[King Bob]

didnt seem to take long to get her back together, good work dude.

 

[mitcheg6]

I would throw on some black rims or at least paint those black

 

[aaren99]

nice timeline. I'd paint match the sideskirts and the lip imo. But it looks way better now then it ever did.

 

[Slept-n]

i like it alot!

how can you scan the insurance company into getting you a lip? cuz i wanna say someone hit me so i can replace my bumper for an aftermarket one. (j/k) but if theres seriouly a way i wanna know how.

 

[DaGFTDOne]

Find a bumper for dirt cheap then use the remaining money to get a lip... thats how I got my hood, headlights and grille....

 

[Jezek]

wow...lookin nice bro. AMAZINGLY huge difference between the pre-accident pics and now. i'm feelin it. Any plans on new rims, or no? If you do, I would suggest Silver or Gunmetal...

Good luck.

p.s. no c/f on the car + oem grille ftw.

p.s.s. Why are people telling you to get a lip

 

[soldiaboy]

car looks good. what happened to your bodykit

 

[qwikxr]

that lip is hawt

 

[spook4thecia]

Well I have had my EJ8 for just under 5 years now and it has been through a lot.

When I first got her Sept 8,2001

mm. just 3 days before...


anyways, nice car man. def. don't paint match the lip and side skirts. looks cleaner imo.

 

[steve98ex]

didn't know about that accident, looking good now though

 

[civicsi94]

sorry to see the wreck. nice ride though

 

[Partizan]

Looking better than ever.

more picture and more detail into the story of what happen to ur car on the strike?

i had just come out of a corner and looked to see something off to my left and then all of the sudden i looked up and the car infront of me locked there brakes up and tried to stop then i locked mine and i rearended him (mid 90's Camry) with him locking up and his rear going in the air and me locking my and the front going down and me being lowered i went right under him. his rear bumper was sitting on my engine block. thats how the hood ended up like that. luckily i was that low and i didnt hit the airbags so it wasnt totalled.

Looks better now than before the wreck imo.

thanks, that was the goal. hopefully some more mods soon as well.

id say get some different wheels but thats just me

I would throw on some black rims or at least paint those black

already planned, just need to be ordered.

didnt seem to take long to get her back together, good work dude.

it took the body shop just over 5 weeks. thats way to long in my book but yeah. they did all the work, not me.

i like it alot! how can you scan the insurance company into getting you a lip? cuz i wanna say someone hit me so i can replace my bumper for an aftermarket one. (j/k) but if theres seriouly a way i wanna know how.

not sure. i got the lip after i got the car back from another CC member (qwikxr)

wow...lookin nice bro. AMAZINGLY huge difference between the pre-accident pics and now. i'm feelin it. Any plans on new rims, or no? If you do, I would suggest Silver or Gunmetal...

thanks man. thats what i really wanted it to look like and this just gave me the opportunity to do it. just need some new headlights and possibly CTR grille but idk yet. most likely getting some new 15 gunmetal rims with a polished lip here fairly soon, just need to get on the horse and order them after i figure out what tires i want.

car looks good. what happened to your bodykit

its still in my garage. the car had to go bad to stock (from what i was told by my dad) plus i like this look alot better and after almost 3 years i have grown not to like the kit. and why pay to get the front redone then pay even more to get the kit painted and all that.

Wow, That turned out great after the accident?
