my poor baby!

Ok so story goes a lil something like this! I parked next to a curb and didn't notice that it had a piece of concrete at the end that stuck out more than the curb. So as I was backing out it caught my bumper and pushed it into my wheel well and folded it like a damn pancake all the while my wheel was scraping on the piece of concrete! My bumper was pushed up into my wheel and craked in half at the bottom opening and put a damn 10 inch long curb rash onto my lip. Basically there is noone to blame but my self for not paying attention. looks like the bumper may be able to get fixed and definitely my wheel can. But after seeing how horendous my bumper looked folded in half i thought it was over but only time and my body shop will tell. Also i must say that Marty makes one hell of a bumper and has the best quality out there! my bumper literally folded in two and it only came out with that crack no other cracks or holes and it didnt fall apart like other fiberglass does it just took back its shape just as a poly bumper should even though its fiberglass so i will say it is definitely the best quality you can buy! Will keep yall updated on Megan's recovery

onto pics...this was after i fixed it up some!

Damn Gabe that sucks, especially since you just got the KR fixed and repainted. Could this be karma getting back at you for something you've done recently you aren't proud of? (except eating a spoon full of cinnamon, still don't get that one. )

Anyway I hope this doesn't affect your trip to Austin in a couple of days. I'll call you here in a bit, I see you called today but didn't leave a message.

You can repair the bumper and lip easily. Turn that frown upside down.

Pffft! That's nothing... what you need to do is break out the JDM repair kit!









J/K, sorry to hear, but it looks very fixable.
