So, as I was out delivering pizzas the other day, some teenage girl pulled out from a stop sign at an intersection because she didn't see me (or didn't pay attention while looking both ways), and I ended up skidding into her. I was only doing 35-40mph when she pulled out (speed limit was 35 on the street), but there was absolutely no way for me to stop in time, I was already so close when she pulled out.
Long story short, some relatively minor front end damage to my Celi ![]() ![]() Since I'll be needing a new front bumper, I was looking at body kits on Andy's Auto. I like the look of the Extreme Dimensions C-5 bumper more than most of the alternatives, and I like the idea of the Duraflex stuff. Does anyone who's used their body kits have any advice or tips about it, or bad experiences to share? Oh, I'll also leave this world-changing bit of wisdom from the chick whose car I hit: "I had a stop sign! You were supposed to stop!" ![]() ![]() -------------------- 1989 Celica ST Automatic "King Cobra" -- 2005-2006

Haha, I don't wanna bag on girls' driving too much! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only sane driver around here, they make terrible driving decisions on a regular basis - and terrible indecisions, too! I put on my turn signals well in advance of my turns, and start braking early to make sure these hilarious people have more than enough time to realize what I'm doing and see my lights.
![]() Back on the topic of body kits and such, I really do like the idea of the Gt-4 conversion. I'm thinking it'll probably be a few more pennies than that body kit, though. Also I'd rather not explain over and over that it LOOKS like a 2.0 turbo car when in reality it's a mild-mannered 1.8 N/A. ![]() This post has been edited by PaukST: Oct 3, 2012 - 12:51 AM -------------------- 1989 Celica ST Automatic "King Cobra" -- 2005-2006
