Stylin' dude like your new mod...Say you used an orange cone to do it? you think a lemon cone would work?

dg4rez · 07-11-2009, 08:05 PM

looks like you have an excuse to aero the front

HTM Yaris · 07-11-2009, 08:13 PM

Nascar 200 mph tape will fix it right up

PhilD424 · 07-11-2009, 08:19 PM

You're not suppose to hit the cones. Learn how to drive and this won't happen.

A new front clip isn't that expensive.

yarhead · 07-12-2009, 12:39 AM

yeah, you can say it was more of a forced mod. to clear things up, i was heading to work at about 4:15 am after waking up at 3:30 am. i was changing lanes getting ready to get onto the on ramp for the last freeway change when this happened. it was early and the annoying lady kaka song was on and went to change stations. so, i really did have to worry about cones on the middle of the freeway. i wasnt paying too much attention and all i heard was a thump and stuff flying in the engine compartment. so, nautrally, i look at my rear view mirror and saw the dam cone. its wasnt no construction cone because those are taller andcylinder like. this was a small cone on its side like the kind gardners use or private service company. am not an expert driver, ahhh wait, come to think obout it i do have a CDL so in the eyes of CA i am a proffesional driver. what can i say other then, shit happends.

indeed it does

eTiMaGo · 07-12-2009, 08:37 AM

drill holes and stitch it back together with zip ties!

or, a certain vendor in LA happens to have a good range of reasonably-priced aftermarket front bumpers

Looks like it's time for a body kit from MicroImage

Using one in a nonmatching color will give it real class.
