Alright, looks like I'm getting the VIS carbon fiber hood and Replica front bumper!

The bumper was close to OEM cost, but the hood was a considerable difference. But the body shop will be installing and throwing on a clear coat so I should be good. My xmas present to me.

A 4x4 does not stop any faster then a FWD car. In fact,(given equal tires) the heavier 4x4 will take longer to stop due to inertia. People who drive 4x4s often get a false sense of security since they can accelerate better with the better traction but stopping is mostly the same...

True that. On I-90 over snoqualmie pass going to seattle ALL the vehicles you see upside down or on their sides are the 4x4s that passed you by earlier. I love that. My car sustained more damage for the simple reason my crash bars were lower than his. Other than having to deal with a rental (cobalt lt) I'm pretty pumped about the new parts getting installed.

UPDATE: The car is STILL being frickin' worked on!!! I did snap some pics a couple weeks ago, they didn't start working on it till the parts came in. Next pics will be of her finished. With the hood and new bumper it's going to look killer. I think my next mod will be tint, which will really help with the hellish summers we get here.

Lol true! Oooh, I got a call today the car will be ready tomorrow! They just need to reset the airbag light (which was on before the wreck) and finish part of a stripe. I can't wait to drive my car again!

Yup, getting it installed. In fact, it's already installed

Here are a couple teaser pics. They still need to finish 1 stripe and reset the airbag light and I get my car in a few hours





The grill is painted to match the car, and looks really good. The grill material is actually the same stuff you get at lowe's for putting around trees or in rain gutters, worked well, and was only $12 for a 3'x15' roll.

Ugh I was supposed to pick the car up Saturday after they finished the stripes and reset the airbag light. The guy came and finished the stripes but the body shop kinda forgot to tell the service department they were supposed to do the reset. So I get to wait till Monday, but the car should look really good with the new parts and a fresh wash. I had to pay almost $1,200 out of pocket to cover the extra cost for parts plus shipping, labor and tax. But it's well worth it. I figure by next month the weather won't be snowy anymore so I can get the 17's back on.

The anticipation is killing me! I've been driving the girlfriend's stock '09 around the past few days and it's amazing how much more responsive the yaris is to the cobalt. Getting back into my car is way over due, but the parts from garm will make this whole horrible experience sooo worth it.

I got the front bumper and hood from Garm aka Cali-yaris over at microimage. The front bumper is the Thailand RS replica and the hood is the VIS vented reverse cowl in carbon fiber. I can't wait to get the car all cleaned up and put the 17's back on and do a photo shoot.

Thanks for the compliment!

Looking great, Astro!
Did the eyelids survive the impact? Might be a good idea to get some CF wrap from Garm and get them back on there... .02

Yup that's the plan. The eyelids looked odd not matching the hood so cf wrap it will be.
