damn this california rain...

hey guys, i got into a accident today, and basically my front bumper and hood has to be replaced. I was wondering if anyone had a extra White Evo 8 front bumper that they are selling? If you are, please Email me at KU7484@yahoo.com

If you guys are located in california, GREAT!! if not, and if you're willing to ship, ill be happy to pay. Other color front bumpers would be nice too, but for a cheaper price. Thanks guys.

WTF is up with the rain. It seem it will never stop. This morning it took me 1 1/2 hours to get to work.( But I love the All Wheel drive in the rain. While other people are going 40 MPH, I'm going 80 MPH. Sorry to hear about your fender bender. Bu tI think the best wa to go is a CF hood and Body kit. That Way if you try to sell it I won;t look like an accident. It will just look like you tried to mod it.

Hell I'd be happy that it's finally raining out there. For the past 7-10 years it's been a nasty drought. Do you have any photos of the reservoirs being filled up?

AWD doesn't make you superior to other cars because on the road anything can happen. The advans are horrible in cold, wet weather. Going 80mph in the rain is pretty dumb but I guess since you have awd you'll be ok.

Awd may be an advantage when accelerating, but braking can be a diff story...

Sorry to hear about your wreck KU. Good luck w/ the fix.

Yea, Advans suck in wet and cold or just cold. Wet and warm, they're somewhat ok but there are better tires out there.
