While my wife is pretty good about things, seeing the front bumper off my car would launch her into the stratosphere! She wouldn't say anything other than to say I was nuts. At that point any eff-ups on my part would be fatal!

I'm glad you can laugh about it now, but you have my sincere sympathy that you had to go through all of that. It's still got to be tough.

I need to write a book or something.

Dang, I almost forgot...

Happy Friday, Mr. Kenchan! :tiphat:


TGIF, mr. onzedge! :tup: have a safe trip.

and yah...wow, that is quite a story... definitely a novel coming soon(?)

Man I want to do the Oil Cooler but I know my wife would have a $hit fit. She was giving me hell about a freeking spring coming in the mail. (clutch helper spring) WTF, I used to restore piles and track them.

I can just hear her over my shoulder nagging me straight during the entire job about whatever stupid thing enters her mind. And when that front bumper comes off... it'll be time to put the earphones on with some music blasting.

can you get that shipped and installed at your buddy's place? it's a small radiator looking thing and im 100% sure your wife wont even notice it once the bumper's back on. :D

It was $100 on sale, so if it helps avoid ordering some of the real CF stuff - while gorgeous, is expense - it will pay for itself, plus I might be able to help out some of the guys around the Houston area.

BTW - your write-up was great, and will be a big help! :tup:

hahahaha, yah, i lost like $20 on that ordeal for their stupid mistake. not a huge loss, but rather had charburgers and cheeze fries with that and change to spare. :yum:

i think the best and cheapest way to make the template is to just trace the outline with a piece of paper using a stensil. also if you're planning on doing the door switch covers, it goes much faster if you just remove the switch module from the door and just wrap it. :) you will need to do a quick window reset which is like 5-10 sec of window all the way rolled down, hold...then up all the way, hold another 5-10 sec. done.

Lol, no but thanks for askin. I lost my estimate paperwork a few weeks ago and was slow working on getting another copy. Just got another copy this week. Also, I went to see the autobody guy yesterday. He says Im gonna need a new hood and the whole front end painted! Im actually kinda happy, my hood and bumper are BEYOND rock chipped up. Itll be nice to have that taken care of. Now only my sideskirts should look like crud. The guy fixin it is a little booked so its gonna be a couple more weeks till its done. Its such a minor fvck up, I mean you cant even tell anything is wrong if you dont stare at it. Crazy that its gonna take as much work as it is to get it back to normal.

Alchemy 09-30-2011 04:39 PM

Here is a pic I just snapped cause I never posted a pic of what happend. The hood has that little crease on it. The bumper is also tweaked toward the passenger side a little, less than a 1/4 inch. You can see how its pushed right up against the passenger side light. Not bad for hittin a deer at about 45 mph :tup:

Alchemy- wow, that is painful to look at but yah, you really dodged that deer with your lightening fast reflexes! I was expecting much bigger damage. :D. Most deer impacts results in caved in hoods and shattered glass.

definitely get the front clearbra-ed after the repaint. :D I'd give it 3-4 wks for the paint to cure first. :p

So after cleaning the G, i checked psi on the Z. She is ready to motor tomorrow am! :D

It depends on how much of the car you cover. Around here, a "bikini" (which covers the nose, forward facing parts of the fenders, mirrors and hood goes for around $800.00 installed. A full bra is more dollars.
