I tried the super glue thing, but its just not possible. It hasn't cracked that much where it sticks out. I think it needs some sanding/bondo and some repaint and then mounted back in on the side The rivet where the side marker is came out....and now I have an issue with the sidemarker, it's not even going in, but I didn't have too much time testing it out. It was popping itself out. I hope the bracket didn't get damaged.

I'll find out on Thursday, my work schedule is packed for the next couple weeks so I have to wake up super early to get to the shop that installed/painted it and then rush back to work on. Will be doing that tomorrow. Sucks cos I gotta deal with SOO MUCH traffic.

Here's the amount of clearance I have for my driveway.



I think I'm going to leave the height as is. I was able to deal with some hard driveways to get in and out of, it's just that I didn't angle it too much that one time I guess.

Nope didn't know. You should join us for the 818 meet. It's every 2 weeks. Next one is this Thursday and the next one is on the 25th. Gonna be around then?

Unless you live in Norcal, then no. I'll be getting into San Fransisco on Thursday. Coming in from Reno.

typically they are 4 lane - sometimes 5 including car pool lane (aka HOV lane)... but there isnt anything fun about them, they always look like this:

Went the shop today and it can't be fixed easily. Crack is too deep that even touch up wouldn't have worked so I gotta leave it as is and when I get the funds I'll modify the bumper slightly and repaint it. Not gonna spend several hundred on paint again on 1 crack.
