Burak, they are only paying for a stock bumper. The HRE has some rash on the edge and a small chip on the face. Wheels Boutique (where I bought them) will correct it, and it is covered.

As for what happend, totally driver error. I lost control of the rear and over compensated and hit the guard rail. It was during some spirited driving, and ( I know...I should know better) immedialely after a construction zone. I didn't see the debris on the road. The rear got loose very unexpectedly. Still can't believe how quickly it all happened.

Time for driving lessons...

DAMN!!! How did that happen????

I was just about to PM you about the mugen front. I am planning to change mine too

Did you decide on the Turbo thing? because you need to take that decision into consideration when you buy a front end. something that won't block the intercooler a lot.

J's and C-West are great but they are already taken by Aaron and Matthew My next choice was Mugen

I did a very similar thing in a sudden douwnpour on the turnpike with uneven inside wear on rears. tore the left front wheel assembly comletey off when it stuck under the guardrail after intial contact. went with OEM front and love it. however now thinking of a lip
