Default Time for a 3rd bumper :)

Yep, this would be my 3rd bumper. The original one I replaced in June of 2016, I hit some debris and it cracked.
Yesterday, I hit a red light runner and half of the front end is cracked. LED headlights are gone too. Hopefully my insurance will cover them, which I doubt, based on VIN I'm not suppose to have those.

Anyway, I'm thinking this time I will go with the Fake Sport conversion. I would like to convert to 2016, but don't want to drive without the headlights.

Here she is

Yep, LED lights are gone, Aimgain lip is gone. But as they say, the third time's the charm!

That offset front license plate must have thrown the other driver's timing off...

Wow... your positivity is almost eerie... I know I would be raging if that happened...

Looks like the damage goes beyond just the bumper too.. hope it gets all taken care of properly.

Man that sucks! If the 16 model year conversion doesn't work out, you can join me and others that have the F sport conversion.

I used to be like that, when my car was new, but went through a lot for the past 4 years. I guess with time you just care less and less about it.

And you're right, the damage is definitely beyond the bumper, there is a lot needs to be replaced behind the bumper. Hopefully by next week I'll know exactly what the damage and what the cost is.

Looking great man!
Yes, the 16' conversion is very tempting, but I am afraid that I won't be able to get the headlights to work.

Good luck with your car. With the weather conditions shown in the image I guess you have to be real careful not to get hit.

Looking at that pic, I dont miss driving on those rough NYC streets at all!!! Glad to see you are ok, sorry to see your GS banged up like that. NY do have some talented bodyworks that can make it look new so you should be good to go!
