so i finally did it.....

saturday im clearing impulse's headlights and i broke a bulb so we had to sun to the store and pick up new ones......so we get to the shop and i start to pull in but the drive way looked kinda steep so i took it slow. it started to scrape bad so i backed off and parked in the street i get outside and look and i screwed it up bad, i look aroung the bumper and i see where the bumper meets the hood its completley cracked and the paint is chipping. on top of that i did another once over when i got home and come to notice that i messed up my pass. fender and the paint is chipping and theres a ripple in the finder too. so in conclusion i have to sepaint my car, and while im doing that i will..

-shave the gutters off the roof
-shave the plate off the trunk (if i dont get a carbon fiber trunk)
-mold the rear lip to the bumper (maybe)
-paint some interior peices to match

i was either thinking of grey or pure white with a red pearl


gimme input guys lemme know your ideas....im thinkng with everything itll cost me about 3500-4500 im so bummed out b/c now i gotta show this weeked.......had a show =-(

Dont be so bummed....The bumper looked like crap anyway...If you save your money, and do what you planned....Your car will look sweet.

Live and learn, urethane all the way. Sucks to hear that you gotta shell out some money but it will be better in the end keep ur head up dude.
