Just when I thought I was done...

cad614 · 01-23-2002, 09:10 PM

Last week, installed Tokico Illumina shocks & struts. Monday, installed my 4.10 gears. Tuesday, got my "racing" ticket dismissed. Today, installed Ford "C" Springs and got new tires.

Sounds good right? That's exactly what I thought until they backed my car off the lift after installing the tires - that's when they tore up my front bumper with the lift!

Now there is a nice hole in the drivers side of the front bumper (I'll get pictures tomorrow). Luckily the shop gave me no hassles about fixing it, but I need to get 3 estimates before they can start working on the paperwork. Hopefully it won't take them long to get things rolling after that, because it takes Cervini a week in order to get the bumper to me.

c'est la vie

Damn dude, that sucks. Fortunatley bumper covers arent that hard to replace, and arent to expensive.

That would give me the excuse to get a Cobra front bumper cover. (No, I wouldnt try to pass my car off as a cobra, I just think they look sweet. I'm not a Ricer...Honest.)

I already had the Cervini Stalker kit installed.... so now I'll just be replacing that and can't even use this opportunity to upgrade. The estimates came out to be just over $1000.00.

Maybe I'll get a check that will be big enough to let me do a little extra shopping, but I'm not holding my breath.
