My buddy runs the shop, they also painted my car.
It was $300 to paint and mold in the lip.

I feel like I'm the only one here without a dog... I do have a female Leopard Gecko though, her name is SoBe(just like the drink)

Got her February 16, 2011 when she was a few days old.

Mhmm, very much so. Here's a PDF from the ASPCA on it: http://www.aspcapro.org/sites/default/files/q.pdf

Here's the TL;DR snippet:

"At this time, the lowest documented toxic grape or raisin dose is 0.32 to 0.65 oz/kg.5 Without knowing the exact mechanism of action, all cases of grape or raisin ingestion should be considered potentially serious. Vomiting is one of the initial signs of grape or raisin toxicity and can occur within the first 2 hours. Other initial signs that can occur within the first 5 to 6 hours of exposure include diarrhea, lethargy, and polydipsia. Signs of ARF may develop either within 24 hours or several days after exposure. Signs of ARF may include anorexia, lethargy, depression, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, tremors, and hypovolemia. "

ARF = kidney failure.

Google variations on "can raisins kill my dog". Wow. I need to protect this little guy.

Ha, great name. Dogs can be tough to have if you're moving around a lot (like when you're in the service).

Here's Maggie. This was taken roughly a year ago:

400 for lip + 300 for molding and paint, though... ouch! (And I'm guessing it would be considerably more so for paint, since that guy's buddy owned the body shop that did it.)

For those of you who've purchased the 2010+ sport sedan bumper for your non-sport, how much did you end up paying for getting the bumper painted?

I tore my sport lip up on the hump of my driveway. This of course was before I went air but even then I started to scrape up the bottom of my cf lip

I need to redo my driveway smh

Every time I find myself inching towards wanting a lip, or even the OEM chin, it's comments like this that snap me back to reality.

Damn squeaking is driving me BONKERS! Anybody with Tein Basis have any squeaking in the rear? No its not my Sways. I greased them with heavy silicon grease the other day and as soon as I pulled out the garage I heard it again. Think it could be the rear top hats?

I drive my car quite a bit, I've never gotten close to ripping off my lip when I was lowered on the BC's or my current drop.

Speaking of BC's, they squeaked badly. After hours of troubleshooting, BC told me the rear top hats were defective. Do you have upgraded rear swaybars? The bushings could be squeaking.

Yes but you don't have a hump in your driveway. I never scraped while driving and I was lowered on Tein's it was only at my house and on my driveway that ripped a hole in it.

Not in my driveway, but driving to work I have to angle a few road entrances. The front lip doesn't make the front end dramatically lower, I think the fangs maybe protrude another half inch or so? Rochester, I'd park your car at it's closest contact point on your driveway and measure how much clearance you have.

Driving in downtown Austin, there are some sketchy entrances to restaurants and the most damage I have done is to my exhaust.

Squeaking when the car is parked, and you're getting in and out of it?

If that's the case, it could be the parking brake calipers. I had exactly that problem when I first got the car. Drove me nuts, thinking it was suspension or swaybar related.
