i added that..

I didn't have my camera.. i always do.. but the battery was dead..
I would have got footage of the actual accident too.. and all the traffic it caused..

And it was a guy.. 45ish.. business guy driving a volvo s40... those things are built like an effing tank..

Haha, I assumed it was a girl too since you said a cell phone was involved. My wife drives me nuts when she talks and drives. It's like she gets tunnel vision and can't see but 5 feet in front of her.

imagine that wreck times 50 billion with the jdm rear with no rear crash support.

) : that is why i am hesitant of getting a jdm rear.. i just don't trust the "homemade" rear crash beams.

Can't you just make 'adjustments' to it.. like shaving the ends off so it fits...?
Or do you have to remove it completely?

I've heard you can make "minor adjustments" to make it fit, I've been talking to an Auto body shop locally here in MD to do mine, The guy does great work

Same damage as mine, i went to the JDM 9. I figure i have been rear ended twice in this car already what are the chances of a third? I only drive the car 7,500 miles per year so im not on the road that often.

do you know what the 'minor' adjustments are??
i kinda want to get this done soon.. since i don't have a rear license plate anymore.. (or the front one which is needed in ohio) it is kinda hard to not get pulled over..
