Got rear ended at a stop light 5/12/08. The kids and I are OK which is most important but......

Just installed new springs, struts, drivers side lower control arm, front rotors, pads and tie rod ends March 1 and 2 08.

I got pictures before and after but will have to have elwesso do it for me. e-mail me at [email protected]. or someone kindly direct me.

Car is still parked in the street and not sure what they will give me for it or when it will be gone but Ill try to grab anything off of it before it goes if I can. A buy back is a possiblilty too, who knows.

Appreciate all the help Ive got from you all. Especially Nyrider for the post up with pics on how to swap out front struts and Van from One ton Garage for hooking me up with some KYB SR specials from overseas, and also Kevin Falk who got me the Tien springs also from overseas.

Damn, well I am glad you were well protected and I bet you never complain about the fuel tank location again.

Get those parts. There are still some good FGY33 out there.

I have always wondered why owners don't add extra brighter and more numerous LED rear brake lights that SHOUT STOP and are visable from a mile away..................so bright that the driver behind feels the heat on their face.

Instead of rims and stereo......................safety first and foremost before flash.

Is your interior black? Will you get some parts off of it for me?

Exactly!!! Have you!?! So it's HIS fault that he got rear ended!?! The lights on the back of the Q are bright enough. Your statement was very foolish!

Sorry guys the car is gone. Salvage wanted $2000 to buy it back. Didnt want to mess with it at that price.

18X8's are for sale in the classifieds section if interested.

Did you keep the key fob car remote? I guarantee you would have made more money here than whatever the salvage yard gave you for it. I know I wanted parts off of it. Good luck with the car purchase.
