Sorry just had to vent a little. I was driving like an @$$ and cracked my bumper slightly and took a chunk out near the sidemarker. Needless to say I am not happy.

Good thing it's close to winter, so it'll be coming off soon for some R&R (repair and repaint).

Damn this sux!!!!!

Nah, I've had it for a few months now. I just got my CF hood last week. Oh well, I'll just fix it and respray it.

Live and learn I guess.

It's fiberglass, I have an aftermarket bumper on my car. So I'll just refiberglass where needed and go to work with some bondo.

Should be like $200 since I already have paint and I'll do all the body work myself.

Fiberglass or not, it would have cracked either way. I caught the corner of it.

Urethane isn't all that great, I already cracked an OEM sideskirt like 6 months after getting the car.

It's all about where you hit the piece.

Lol, yeah good thing the hood isn't on yet.

This will be my winter project. I'm just glad it happened now and not in the beginning of the year.
