Nothing like zip ties and duck tape. Glad it wasn't more than that, damage wise.

Hmm...So you're looking for a new oem lip? As soon as my '97-'00 front bumper gets painted and installed...I'll be probably looking to get rid of my '95 oem front bumper w/paint to match oem SC400 lip and HID ready foglights for a ridiculously cheap price...PM me if you might be interested...I'm in Southern California.

First off, beautiful car. Looks sinister. What size wheels are those ?

Second, my car rides just fine on dry pavement, but when it rains I can't even drive on the freeway. The car just "slides " side to side like constant hydroplaning. Was this the case with your car ?
