My Coupe: Once dead, Now Alive

[Viperjunkie]

This is my first time posting pics of my coupe on the forum. I never did it before, because i didn't really have much done to it. So i just didn't feel like being boring. But that i have a new job and more money, that means more sh*t to buy for my car.

So if you're wondering about the title, about a month ago, i was driving back from my girlfriends house. It was raining, and my car seemed to shake very badly whenever it rained. I knew it was because of my tires be SUPER bald. And me being the dummy that i am, bought a lot of things i shouldn't have bought for my car, instead of tires. Well on my way home that night, i hit a puddle on a banked turn, and hydroplaned into a ditch. I've never been in an accident before. I've been in plenty of fender benders but nothing major. All i could think of was how stupid of me. The worst part was, the next day i was getting wheels and tires from a buddy of mine. I took it to a shop by my house and the total damage ended up being $5683. Most of the damage was to the front of the car. The air bags didn't deploy, thank god, but nonetheless still a lot of money in repairs.



After what seemed like an eternity, i FINALLY got her back. And although it made not have seemed like it at first, everything payed off in the end. Here she is now. Instead of painting my stock bumper back i got a stillen fascia and they painted that for me instead. They even painted my stillen deck spoiler for free. Let me know what you think!



P.S. I took these pics quick so my finger is in a couple of them.

[headhunt3r]

By the last picture it looks like 225/45/18, so... 18's

weird thing is that the style of the wheel makes it look smaller than 18's

ya i thought 17's or maybe 18's but with thick tires to where the overall diameter was larger then the factory rims and tires.

to the OP, one thing i'd suggest is to smoke the fog lights... later on i'm going to try and mount my factory fog lights in my fascia (i think i found a way) and i'm going to smoke the fog lights so you cant tell they're even there during the day. just like that spray on stuff ppl use to smoke there tail lights.

I bought the wheels from another guy who had a coupe. Im saving to buy some Falkens. Not a big fan of Nexens.

[Rmuth25]

That damage was over 5000 bucks? Was there some mechanical damage somewhere?

Lol no look at my second post. It explains it there.

They replaced practically everything in the front of the car. The radiator, A/C condenser, my engine cradle, radiator support, etc. There was a laundry list of stuff that they did. I was surprised too. Thank god for insurance.
