EEEEEK!

That's probably why I park a million miles away from the curb and go really really slow over bumps ..... even with my unmodified stock box!

good luck with your repairs and new paint.

Thanks everyone... I am going up north to get a quote to get ALL of my paint issues fixed.

If anyone wants to see it in 3D living color let me know..

The story of it is, I was on my way home Sunday night and some friends called and told me to stop by Shari's.. no prob, so I back in at the end of the parking lot like I always do and all is well. Well when I went to leave I forgot and cranked the wheel a little to hard and SMACK.

You know Will...not only did I do that in my BSP box and ruin the skirt...I also managed to take off my underglows with that type of a maneuver (that darn Kirkland Starbucks lot with cement block apacers rather than curbs/sidewalks...totally forgot it was there).

Owowow. I knew I wasn't going to like looking at this thread. You've got my sympathies, Will.

Maybe I should get the pics Haury's took of my right rear quarter panel after I backed into a concrete pillar in a parking garage. You might feel a lot better about your damage then.

As to color, I'll put in my vote for chromium yellow. But man, if the cracks about the short bus are bad now...
