Wow, Brad, I just shipped your Sport swaybars to you yesterday. Yesterday, for Pete's sake! Of course I'm glad you weren't in the car when it got smacked. Still, that's horrible timing to have mod parts sitting around in your dining room while your car is in the body shop. You have my sincere sympathies, buddy, but I think you already know that.

Let's assume your car is completely repairable, (even though I have no idea one way or the other.) But on that assumption... your rear valance area looks FANTASTIC wrapped in CF! I've been saying for the longest time that a black Sedan would look great if that lower bumper area weren't same-color gloss, and this proves that out and then some. Nice decision, and great look.

In any event, I hope things work out in your favor.

Oh, and you mispeeeled the word "valance" in your thread subject.

Just a little friendly ribbing, buddy.

Ouch man! Really sorry to hear about this, but like everyone said, at least no one was hurt. Hope your G is back soon.

BTW, that carbon wrap really turned out nice.

Was she hot?

Perhaps you'll get lucky and have a happy ending.

Thanks again for the thoughts everybody. Being w/ such a great car forum w/ fellow enthusiasts, we all share in the pain when one of our beloved Gs gets nicked.
Looks like It'll be at least 2 weeks before they can even get it in the shop. Unfortunately in our small town there's only one body shop that I want touching this car

Thanks for the kind words John. Yep I'm very happy w/ the new look out back, exceeded my expectations by quite a bit. The contrast and the break-up of the big "sea of black" really accomplished everything I wanted it to.

At least I'll have some parts to have fun with when it's all back together, just wish they could get to it sooner as I'm already sick of the loaner and it'll be two weeks before I even get one

In that I now know where you live, let's hope you get it back before July 5th.

I'm sure you don't want to take the bus to the UFO Festival.

What a shame! If you're anything like me, you were probably parked way out in the back of the lot with empty spaces on either side. Sucks your beautiful G was right in her path. Hopefully it gets fixed sooner rather than later.
