Hmmmm....i think i just heard the sound of my insurance going up due to people like you. Just think if someone would have been walking there. You would have no evo, no Notre Dame education and more than likely would be sitting in prison for manslaughter sharing a bunk with bubba the *** pirate.

SE lip.

Were you really doing 80 on what looks like no less than 50 degree turn?

i was doin 80, slowed down and downshifted to 4th and was about 60ish in the turn. Ive done it in the summer with the advans and been ok. I just dint expect it to be slick in the turn. the whole road was dry. Bad judgement on my part.
Im just happy the damage was minimal.

Please dont flame me any more.

Ant suggestions on the bumper? Some of the mounts for the lip have been ripped off, so i dont know what to excatly do.

wait wait, I read a post a few weeks ago the same EXACT turn. It was posted that someone was riding your *** so you floored it and lost control and flew over the ditch onto the railroad tracks or something to that effect. Was that you?

lmFao "my insurance is going up" dude put your head in your hands tuck your dick in between your legs and cry like the women you are. My words are harsh because these words are uttered nonstop when someone crashes. You are a jerk you have no sympathy how do you have all knowing power why are you judge and jury? feel sympathy or be hollow. I perhaps should have said nothing due to leaving gaps in my thoughts consistency that you can sit and try wholeheartedly to exploit, I'm sure you will. I can not cover all bases when responding to a post altho I try. But at least i vented a bit. I hope this means everything to you ;D The rest of you reasoning i agree with wholly.

You almost put your thoughts together long enough to make sentences. Come back and try again later KTHXBI.

I did something similar to that and lost the front lip off of my car too. I bought a new SE lip that was about $130 from Mitsu. It only came it white so I spent another $125 getting it painted. You have to remove those tabs that are still stuck to your front bumper. They're on there by screws. Easy to take off. The new lip has tabs on it already. Just screw the new lip back on. Took me a whole half hour to install.

I never bothered replacing my undertray. Makes oil changes that much easier.

Good luck.

na, that wasnt me. This is my first and last mistake.

And i did almost crap my pants, the car spun like twice. I was worried about my evo, so as soon as the car stopped i jumped out to check the damage. it was minimal. Im goin with the se lip. And dont worry guys, no ones inscurance is goin up. Im not claming it.
