Ouch!

I had a 3/4 4x4 Chevy in college. A friend was being a jackass and rear ended me. His car looked like yours. I scraped his paint off my hitch, laughed and helped him home.

I have a slightly cracked bumper on my ISF while moving out of the way when a car full lock behind me started sliding sideways into me. Its a small crack so I'll live with it for a while. What I'm trying to say is the ISF is a tough built car.

Pretty much what happened to me. I hit a f-150 and since my car is lowered it slid under the rear of his truck. I decided to claim it on insurance since the bill keeps going up, oh well. At least I have a few upgrades on the way!

Well, everything is almost put back together. I just received the new headlights today. Now only if the adjuster would show like he said he would a few days ago. I think I am having F withdrawals. oh and I believe it's the passenger headlight that made it out ok, just one broken tab that can be fixed the way it broke. let me know if interested, it's only 3 months old, has afs and non led, I'll give you a good deal.

Well at least you get some upgrades out of it but still it even turns my stomach just thinking of smashing a car that nice! Also it looks pretty mean without a face lol.

Finally done, and it turned out great. i wired the headlights to be 100% instead of half. Obviously I didn't leave it like I did in the picture, just took a little while to figure out which wire went where. It is a little bright at night, but definitely worth it during the daytime.

Haha yea, it sure does. One of the headlights is broken internally the other one just has one tab broken, I do have the tab, so you could try to plastic weld it or something. I'll let that one go for cheap? PM me a price if your interested.
