Sent car in for wheel alinement.
Showed technician air cup system raising front end 8".Showed where the switch was and how to work.

Another person went to put car on rack and did not air it up. He got hung up.He then steps on gas hard.

My car has a super light pedal.That is how I like it.Also has a lot of power.
He almost flew off back of ramp.

Punched hole in front bumper and tore off side blade.A lot of stuff twisted.
A few thousand in damage at least.

The front bumper is from Fly1 and took a little over 3 months to get.
I have used this shop for years.They do a lot of tuner and muscle cars.

They will pay but I want to drive this summer so will be doing repairs.

If the shop is paying top dollar, I have an authentic Fujimura bumper sitting in the garage, it could live on your ride and no waiting. I am joking, I aint shipping that behometh.

Hope it is repaired real soon and you are back on the road. I have to imagine the yearly driving window for sports cars is short in your neck of the woods.

That is the worst part. Losing days I can drive the Z with our short summers.

Hate to make repairs to bumper that was new.Thinking of putting stock bumper on for summer and order new Fly1 bumper.

Love the creativity in your work, and sorry you had such a setback! That's awful.

Default Spoiler

Pre fit on Spoiler.Have to cut and buff one more time.Car is dusty and driveway has a slope to the middle to drain war.
Next comes the infamous spoiler extension.After numerous attempts it came out pretty well.Needs to be cleared and sanded.The two should be together on car some time this week.
