Falcon- i have a 3-piece catback, the bolts came with it. If you don't have bolts its really not a big deal to find some. The stock lx manifold-back exhaust is 2 pieces. the si one is 3-pieces.

Aight... well I'll be swinging by on Sunday between my shifts and I'll help you guys out with your ****.... or maybe I'll watch and drink all your beer.

Anyways, who's going to the LAC meet on Saturday?

BTW... I work at the airport. Oh and I saw 50 Cent, the G Unit, and his body guards when he flew in the other day. I was about 2 meters from the man himself... haha
Who's going to the concert tonight? I'll be there.

It better be nice weather for the meet. If LAC doesn't cruise we should wait for big and we can all go for one that was fun last time. Let's go slower through downtown this time so I can talk to all the girls there's a reason why I have four doors

I'm totally confused on everybody's name b/c of our avatars. What's everybody's name so I know?

Dasica/Brad everybody calls me pottso

Big do you work for Telus in the mall? I'm the guy stores call in for Nextel setting up gov/cor accounts I take like 13 calls in five hours and do homework the rest. Anyways I better grab my 6 hours sleep.

Morning guys, I just posted this on the L.A.C. site:

Well, this morning my '02 Civic coupe got rear-ended by a mid-90's Corolla. About $1300 damage, but its all going through his insurance for repair.

I got three quotes, can anyone comment on them and which one I should go to? Or recommend something better?

1. Don-Mar Carstar Collison (Brydges St)
2. Forest City Collision (Wonderland N)
3. Lawrence Carstar Collison (Wonderland N)

#1 was just acroos the street from the reporting center.
#2 and #3 were both recommend from Westgate Honda.

Repair is going to be a new bumper cover, the actual bumper, absorber pad and a little rear body panel work inside tire well.

Q: Should I put an aftermarket rear bumper on or get OEM?

So comments away please, and thanks!
Xian


Btw, Big I think I need a new cell phone. Can you recommend something for me? More importantly can you hook me up with a sweet deal?

Xian, sorry to hear that buddy, at least you're not gonna spend a dime...I got a hit and run 3 weeks ago at Masonville mall that's coming out of my pocket...bastards!!! Anyway, i would reccoment Don-Mor collision or Forest City Collision....I got my Countour's rear bumper fixed at Don Mor and their work was flawless and i mean flawless....i know Forest City does excellent work too cuz they did quite a few members vehicles from LAC. I've seen their work and it is really good too. The third one i haven't heard of....As for what you should do, If you don't plan on getting a front and sides, than i would just go with OEM again, cuz it will just look funny with only a rear....

damn man.. sorry to hear that

i cant really comment on those places since i've never had body work done.. but as Bruno says Forest City collision sounds familiar from the LAC

if i were you i would go with oem unless you're going to change everything

well I ran around for a while this morning trying to find those gaskets.. nobody had a perfect fit

i found a couple that are almost perfect.. i dont think it will cause any problems.. i just had to bend them a bit to get the holes where i wanted them, etc... that should be ok to do, right?
