Default Car took a Beating........

And all I did was pull into my driveway from the opposite direction that I am used to. I have never noticed the lip on the driveway untill today.





Now it has a new look

Ouch! I am very sorry to hear about your misfortune

I tried the chin spoiler when I first got my tigershark and I found it was nothing but constant scrap scrap scrap and got rid of it shortly after I got it. I think the TS front looks just as good without the chin.

Thanks all. Looks like it will be getting a new bumper in the future. Its been lowered with that spoiler for over 5 yrs. Even drove it 2k miles moving to Reno and missed all the road gators. Kinda ironic that my own driveway took it out.
