What a bummer.....

Ow! That completely blows! I'm so sorry to hear it bro!

Edit: glad to hear you're ok though.

Yes, just cosmetic and not bad at all, or so it appears. It was dark, cop was an a-hole, just wanted to get home. I HATE deer, they are the worst and where I live there are tons of them. Driving down my road at night is like running the gauntlet. I knew this day was coming. There goes that spoiler I was bout to buy.

Is it the IX or the X?

If some body likes your intakes half as much as I love mine, they will be happy.

Very sorry to hear! Hope it is sorted out soon. Glad it wasn't worse and you are ok. Years ago, my father tagged one in his 5 week old Eddie Bauer Explorer.... $5600 later. I have an old picture somewhere. If I can find it, I will post it.

me too... about 10+yrs ago i could've bought a new M3 and IS300 at the time (i wanted them so bad too...

) but decided to man up and settle on a G20

(infiniti) & dress it up while wife and i put a big down payment on our house.

our house will be paid off in 3yrs.

and after that, im just going to save up for retirement.

Ok, so after last nights deer mod I did to my front end Im considering my repair options. The mod side of my brain is telling me to get this hood, although Im sure the body shop can bang mine back into shape. Time will tell.

kenchan · 08-09-2011, 10:43 AM

yah, that's a cool hood and i think functional too to get heat out of the engine bay.

that intercooler is slighty cocked.... with this picture taking lately, even slight non-horizontalness bothers me.

BeachZTT · 08-09-2011, 11:54 AM

I really like that hood! Only looks good with that big fat intercooler though.

kenchan · 08-09-2011, 01:32 PM

haven't done anything with the Z herself today other than glancing over at her

when i pulled out my G to go to work, but i have been busy working on the saturation levels on the picts i took over the weekend during my lunch hour.

im real happy with the macbookpro. excellent portability and the screen is great for getting a fairly accurate image of my work.

if weather holds up im going to wash my G tonight. had to drive her home heavy rain yesterday. i must say Continental DW vs Bridgestone S04, S04's are hands down superior in the rain. although DW will probably kick most street tire's arse out of the water.
