July 2013 update @ 34,000 miles - Hit & Run accident #2:
**Car was backed into while parked on the street causing slight damage to the front bumper and lip**
**OEM side-skirts and Rexpeed CF extensions stolen**
- My actual 1st wife is convinced my custom plates have cursed the car lol.
- There was superficial damage to the front bumper/lip. More of a dent with minimal paint scratch.
- Accident and theft both happened in Brooklyn area but again, I was not in the vehicle so I was not at-fault. I was forced to open a claim because the skirts are expensive and I figured why not have the front bumper resprayed to new! Geico really helped me out with this. No $$ impact at all to my policy.
- Again, the car was taken to Martino Auto Concepts in Glen Cove, NY
- Although, I specifically asked not to replace the front bumper (because the damage did not warrant one), there must have been some confusion. The good news is that I got a brand new OEM front bumper and SE lip with all clips. I really wanted to keep all original parts with VIN's intact but I can't be upset at getting brand new parts. They also went ahead and got me OEM side skirts, replaced the Rexpeed skirts and noticed there was a slight crack in my left JDM MR rear taillight (caused during shipping), so they replaced that too!
- As always, the car turned out beautiful - brand spanking new! No license plate holes!!!
- Car was in the shop for about 6 weeks due to back-order on parts from Mitsu Japan but it was all good getting around in another Ford Fusion rental lol.
- First thing I got installed was an alarm system (shame on me for not doing that earlier).
