Stupid me, made a fast turn in to my neighborhood and hit a dip and BAM shit snapped on the side and lip dragged all the way home. It was so embarassing. I fixed it already thou, a quick fix till i get some $$$$ to replace and repaint it. I just glued it back together, but there lots of scratches.

When it rains it pours, while taking off the bumper found out i need new tires, then also replaced a shock too but that'll be warrantied, hopefully.

here are some picture, my bumper is pretty scratched up.

well i got the lip to look like normal except for some "battle scars". haha.

With this car its always seems to want alot of attention all at once. I mean yesterday i ordered a replacement shock, new set of tires and fixed the lip. Hopefully i wont have to spend any more for a while. :(

714guy,

That was a full reiger kit you had on there right? Same as Luwin1026. Did you get the warranty to cover the shock?

i have the reiger front and rear and c36 sides.

Well i bought a new shock, then sending back the old one to the shop and they're goin to do the warranty thing for me, then credit it back to my CC when bilstien approves it. The only thing wrong is that rubber bushing at the bottom, only a $5 piece but i dont know where to get one.
