I have been pulled over twice.
  • Once with Posey in my black evo viii after leaving the evo meet. got pulled over for windwo tint, exhaust, and speeding. got out of all of them because it was a dealer car and he has a WV license.
  • another time in my blue STI for window tint and I ended up paying a stupid $107.50 for that one!

damn brian, that really sucks!

do you have a choice of body shops? could you take it to the mitsu dealer for the work? that would ensure the parts would be legit.

other then that, all i can really say is find a good reputable body shop and take a close look at the parts after it is fixed.

depending on how hard the hit was there could be a lot of things to check in the rear suspension. what did the noise/vibration sound like?

it would be a wheel or strut that is loose or out of alignment, or a broken or loose sway bar end link.

no idea yet..but was thinking about letting my neighbor do it who lives across the street(he owns a body shop) i figured maybe he could influence that somehow..it just felt like a vibration in the left rear...more noticeable at 55mph and up

could just be the alignment messed up from getting. i would say crawl under and look for anything bent or broken, and make sure you mention it to the body shop obviously.

that really sucks man
