What have you done to your P5 today?

Yaggie1 · May 6, 2007

I was pissed after I hit a woodchuck on Thurs and cracked the front bumper again. Had a racoon crack one last year too. So, now my car is going to have front bumper #3 on it pretty soon...........But, now looking at yours I don't feel quite as bad. That sucks dude. Mine is only costing $50 for the deductable........

tell me about it.
cracked the front bumper, pushed the driver side quarter panel in (can be fixed though its not that bad), bent the core support, broke the left radiator bracket, and broke off the lower grill. i ripped the upper one off because i was pissed and because the hood wouldnt close (grill got shoved upwards). oh yea the passenger headlight is sunk in a little bit (not too bad) but none of the lights were broken which is really good.
im still probably gonna be out about $800. hopefully i can find an msp/p5 bumper for sale on the forums for semi cheap.

yea but i dont want to get the insurance points, because seeing as how it was an accident that was my fault, ill get f'd in the a pretty good by my insurance company.
i pmed 2 different people that had bumpers in the FS section, hopefully they still have them and i can get a good deal on one.
if not, any suggestions on where i can find one for pretty cheap (idc if its used and has minor scratches, anything will be better than mine)

that looks like the mintblue front bumper, but i was wondering, is it a full bumper or just a lip like the dg? if its a full bumper i might just get that instead of trying to find a OEM one (unless i can get one pretty cheap) because itll probably be cheaper

Every time I read Yaggie1's post about hitting a woodchuck that old tounge twister pops into my head.

How many chucks could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Today I did started on the Katzkins leather install. I have both rear seats done but because it is my girls b-day I didn't finnish. Cinceo de Meyo FTW. Tomorrow I am going to finnish both seats - clean the interior completly and take some pictures of the finnished interior. Next weekend will be even more fun as I build my fiberglass sub box.

Katzkins is awesome, I have that kit in my car with some custom add ons as well. good luck and definitely post pics when your done (rockon)

daylight pic of the damage
i know that part of the reason why the hood wont close right is due to the core support being twisted, but i think i ****** up the hood latch too, cuz it wont stay all the way down. it clicks like its locked all the way but i can push it down about a 1/4 of an inch
