Default Lots of things happening

Got hit about a month ago Luckily, the other guy was 100% at fault.

Well, on the bright side of things I will be getting the rear wing deleted and the front fender emblems shaved, as well as the emblem on the trunk shaved. So at least I will get something out of this whole ordeal. Meanwhile, here's the status of the car. It should be about a week longer before I'm driving again.

Now the car needed a new clutch to begin with. So what I went ahead and did was order a new Monster Twin level 1 and a Proxes MGW to go with it.

On top of all this, the insurance will be reimbursing me for diminished value of the vehicle. I really need new wheels and tires pretty badly, So I'll be getting a set of 19" VMR V713, 19x8.5+35 19x9.5+45.



In January I will probably be getting a set of Stance Coilovers as well, it's time to make this car handle.

Nice looking wheels. The rears are going to take some fender rolling/cutting depending on tire. They'll be sticking out 7/8" further than stock.

Yep, got just the guy to do them locally. Should look fantastic, especially when lowered a tiny bit.

Frame has been welded on as of today. Shop is telling I'll be driving by the end of this week, but I have a feeling it will actually be early next week.

Yep. The only other colors I would do are the pearl red or white, but only one half of the car is getting painted and I don't want to spend any more money lol.

Yea, might as well finish off with that nice orange, I like white purple and orange gto's. I found a cosmic purple. But yeah good luck with the rest of it.

Glad they gave you reduced value!! Your car got really screwed up, definitely frame damaged and the passenger door vin will be different than the rest of the car now. Hope they gave you enough. On the bright side they didn't salvage title the car.
