OK so it wasn't really her fault, but a big heavy plastic something blew out of a vehicle in front of her and hit the front clip down low on the drivers side. I pushed the dent out as best I could but it still looks like S---! Gonna get it fixed up, but was thinking I might take advantage of the situation and get a new a RAZZI front end and maybe even a Havoc rear diffuser. What do you think? Taking it to the shop this afternoon for an estimate of what it would cost to get a new stock one.

I'd go for it. I love the razzi front end, but I'm not a fan of the back, so I like your idea of the razzi front and the havoc rear end.

Well if you had it planned as a future mod, you might as well take advantage and do it now. I know i would.

Get a new wife. Jk :p. If your going to have it fixed make sure to get several quotes and do your research before dropping your car off.

Thank you much to all. I think I have a plan now. Went and had an estimate done from a shop i have used before for my daughters car. Their work is top notch. Not always the cheapest, but when they are done you can't tell it from new. I'm not going to do the RAZZI front yet, but i am going to have some small mods done. New MTI spoiler and some small stuff along with a couple AAC light mods. I'll post up pics when it is all fixed up. Now to call the shp and drop the hammer on ordering the new pieces for the front.

Bump with pics

usually when you get something done cheap,that's what you end up with, a cheap job that you are not satisfied with.

That looks so painful

Just waiting on parts now. A lot of little mods along with the big ticket item of a new front clip.

Brianskeet · 01-26-2012, 09:57 PM

Well the repairs are done. Thought I would post up some pics. The front end still looks out of place right now because the paint is brand new and has zero wax on it. The rest of the car has three coats and just glows which makes the front clip look almost matte by comparison. A few more days to cure and I will wax up the front and then I will see just how close a match I have. The RPI Bezels around the DRL's are not a perfect match either, but that is part of the B---- with RJTC. It is damned tough to match.
