I had my car parked on a big branch. The branch was covered by leaves so i didnt see it. When i backed up, my wheels torqued the branch and launched the branch through my front bumper...

Rodzilla · 03-23-2012, 05:20 AM

wtf? Damn that sucks man.

JefryHorizon · 03-23-2012, 05:26 AM

Wow... for a moment there it looked like someone tied a mini UN flag to a huge branch and jabbed it into your front bumper..

Titanium Silver?

Fox128i · 03-23-2012, 07:53 AM

Well at least now you'll be the fastest UN Peacekeeper on the planet.

ErvGotti · 03-23-2012, 11:10 AM

You can always get the performance bumper. I always liked it though I'd also get the side skirts to go with it.

Sylon · 03-23-2012, 11:40 AM

Still kinda baffled how it went that far thru the bumper. It didn't damage anything else behind the bumper, did it?

Pangloss · 03-23-2012, 11:54 AM

The flag was a nice touch. :-)

romak47 · 03-23-2012, 12:45 PM

Looks like something Rambo would come up with. Bad luck.

FactoryFast · 03-23-2012, 09:41 PM

The sound of flag flapping makes me feel very Presidential...

The car runs fine. Looks like that part of the branch just found its way past all the other plastics...No idea on internal damage, im not going to hit the windshield/headlight sprayer thats for sure.

the car is blue water metallic.

I think im staying with the stock bumper. The 1M bumper seems too busy for the rest of the body IMO since we dont have the fender flares and ducts in the front fenders... Im Going to use the extra insurance monies to rectify several inadequacies and cover my deductable since im currently unemployed.

If I do any good mods this season it will be a custom wheel.. Called the Rotiform BLQ. Its a lambo rep, planning on getting gloss black.

MGallop · 03-24-2012, 11:36 AM

Once you part out your car, i call dibs on the flag branch combo!!

Lucky1 · 03-24-2012, 11:54 AM

Holy sh*t, I can't even imagine what I would be thinking the second that happened. I'd be in total disbelief.
