When I had my lowered BMW I made sure to get out and make sure I didn't hit them stupid parking blocks no matter how far I was from them

SZOTSTA24 · 04-22-2010, 01:05 AM

YIKES!

LimaCharlie · 04-22-2010, 01:35 AM

Yeah, my '78 Camaro is lowered and the front Z28 spoiler is about 5" from the ground. I back into spots everytime to avoid a similar situation to yours. You've just got to be aware at all times since your car is lowered. At least the damage looks like an easy fix.

That is horrible! Hurts my eyes.

Sucks to see that pictures. I would look into the ACS front fascia. It's the bumblebee replica from the second transformers movie. Unrestricted Motorsports has a pretty decent looking bumper also.

papabearcamaro · 04-22-2010, 02:56 AM

Wow..sorry to see that.

AlSuwaidi · 04-22-2010, 03:00 AM

i did that once! i throught about some how lifting the car and rolling it back but there was a wall a few inches in front and now way to get a tow truck/crane/watever in front.. just had to reverse and break the bumper a lil... i was in a alfa romeo 166

Sweet Seduction · 04-22-2010, 03:04 AM

So sorry hope it gets fixed soon and cheap... got a small ding on my girl the other day and thought i was gonna cry... that would just make me sick!

G10 · 04-22-2010, 03:08 AM

Curious why you are having the stripes removed?

Sword5 · 04-22-2010, 06:43 AM

Know the sound quite well on my 93 Z, the scraping of that air dam sends chills. I'm sure that anyone who has driven a 4th Gen knows what I'm talking about. I've learned over the years to stop well before. Sorry for your bad luck!

hmmm... I have no idea about the cost of a new front facia.. however, the little plastic trim pieces for the interior is about 500 bucks... the little 4 guages for center console... 400 bucks... Heck, even a stinking gas cover is over 100 dollars...

So you might want to reconsider that 500 deductible. If you are replacing the whole front facia, I bet it will cost quite a bit of coin. I could be wrong though, just following the logic of how damn expensive cheap pieces of plastic sell for.

Ouch. Did it make noise when you 1st pulled into that spot?
