ARRGGGGHHHHH!

I decided to take the turbo for it's 1st real spin last night after putting the baby to bed...and, of course, a truck decides to lay a road alligator down in front of me when I was passing someone...There was nothing I could do except go over it...

Of course, I ding up the front spoiler lip. Thank goodness I put the ventureshield on which absorbed all the damage.

This has got to be the quickest replacement of a clear bra piece in automotive history...12 hours...

Yikes!!!

That has to be a record. Glad it looks like no real damage to the lip.
That will teach you that passing over the double yellow line around a blind corner with your lights off, at night, while eating and perusing 6speed on your blackberry is never a good idea.

Hey! I wasn't eating...drinking a latte maybe....

Seriously though I was, in reality, wide-eyed and gripping the wheel with a near deathgrip as the car is really stupid fast...

Cool!! That's really fast because I believe, technically speaking, that is just one step below "ludicrous speed".

When do the engine mods begin??

Did you replace the clearbra piece or just buff it out? I did the same thing in my Lexus and it buffed out with Meguire's Scratch-X.

It wouldn't buff out, so I'm getting the piece replaced this weekend.
