If you didn't know already I came out form lunch to find out I was the victim of a hit and run








Well it went to the body shop for its appointment Thursday (actually used the night drop Wednesday). They said they would need it all day Thursday and I could get it Friday night but they called friday saying there was a delay and it would be Monday instead and for the delay they would remove the front plate and fill the holes in the bumper for no extra charge..... originally when buying the car they had to do a dealer trade to get me what I wanted, they tried to find me one without a front plate but the one within a few hundred miles they would not give up. So I had to settle for a premounted plate When I went for the estimate I was hoping they were gonna say they had to replace the bumper but they said they would fix it. When I filled out the night drop envelope I put in the comment section if for whatever reason they had to replace the bumper to not put the front plate on the new bumper, that's where they came up with the idea to shave the plate bracket for me. Definitely worth the delay (and the $100 deductible) in my opinion.


Anyways, as soon as it hit the driveway I snapped a pic.



Then I decided why not start taking it back apart



and a random pic of some cleaning stuff since I cleaned and reorganized the garage today, can you tell what brand I prefer



Why did I decide to take my bumper off?





Oracle 3000K HID's for the foglights





All done (sorry no night pics yet)

looks sweet guy... cant wait for some night shots... looks a ton better without the plate holes there too... i love that car!

I don't know if I trust aftermarket HID kits. That case probably cost more than the actual kit.
