tonite, i was drivin down on the island, and this stupid deer jumps out from the right side of the road.. so i put on my brakes and turn left sharp (like to do a 180).. and well, while the back was sliding out, the rear right tire caught grip of the road. so yea, now the camber(i think) is off a lil.. time to take it in the dealership tomorrow and miss work

no, only thing effect is your tires......and hey, gives you an excuse to get rid of those firestones And it is most likely , if anything, your toe adjustment not the camber. Good luck and keep us posted.

No Tomo at work today I went in for lunch and did not see him, Thought maybe they had him on toilet duty or something till i read his post Yeah most likley i'll be going to the EXCEEDSPEED BBQ but i might not because im supposed to have some sod deliver and they only deliver on saturdays so i might get stuck laying sod but more sure that i'll be going i'll keep you posted.

Do it Tomo! I would take it to Fleet Auto on Quarry and Sibley roads. Or, do the work yourself and just let someone paint it. Maybe if I get an air compressor and welder we could do it.

Well, I think that if you pay over $100 for the body work and another $100 for paint then you are nuts. Cause think about this. The "H" is only two tiny holes to cover. Which means all they have to do is: Sand down to bare metal around the holes, fill the two holes with a weld, grind and sand it down even. The keyhole I would take out myself before I took it in so all they have to do is: sand down to bare metal around the hole, use a small filler plate slightly smaller than the hole, weld the filler plate in, grind and sand down the welds. Then you figure some body filler over the two shaved parts to take out any imperfections, sand that smooth, then the paint process. Go on xceed and ask those guys. I am sure you will find someone to do ALL the body work dirt cheap and maybe even find a paint guy. I know Dave, who was at Flexivity last night driving Brad runs a paint shop with his dad. Just keep asking around. Even if you find someone to do the body work now and just primer it. Then wait for the paint when you can get a good deal.

only prob is Dave's father's shop does only insurance work...so they can't do the customized stuff as far as i know......

I'm sooo sick of the H on the back too...just wanna get rid of it...
