Well, for the time being, I am Subaru-less. My car is in the body shop, as I hit a rock the size of a basket ball in the middle of the road! Front bumper got busted, dented the floor under the passenger seat, and the gas tank holds less gas now (that's okay, I'll be lighter now!). The problem is, the rock caused my rear end to get loose, as I was about 45-50 mph in a corner, and pitched me off the side of the road into a small tree! Busted rear bumper, tail light, and dented in the quarter panel! The quarter panel is being fixed as we speak, (thank you slicknick for letting me borrow your stock tail light while I wait for my new JDM to show up in the mail) and I will likely end up getting a body kit, as that'll save me about 500 dollars over replacing the bumpers with new stock pieces. (don't worry, I'm not going rice. It'll basically be a stock looking front, with a lip, smooth sides instead of the unpainted stock ones, and a smoother rear bumper without the separate spats on the bottom.) Also, when I went over the curb backwards, the r.r. strut got bent a little, so no better time than now to get my TEIN ss coilover kit!! Ha Ha!! I didn't get any pics of the damage, but I'll try to post some of the makeover in progress, and completed!
