Default My new rear lip

So I received rear lip for my car last week. Leaving it black if you all remember. Anyways I was incapable of putting it on myself, I found it to be very difficult and couldn't get it to fit right. I ended up taking it to a body shop this morning and they put it on and I must say they did a very nice job. It looks great. The funniest part about this story though is that as I'm pulling into the body shop, I am unable to finda place to park. So first I pull out into the street and try to parallel park, which doesn't work, then I try turning around in the street, and that was a disaster. I hit one of those sewer things on the curb....and damnit I broke my front lip clean in half. I just thought I'd share that because I found it funny that I was so excited to get the rear lip on and I get to the body shop and break my front one. Oh well I'm going to try and fix it and if that doesn't work then I guess it's time to get a new lip. I'll post pics of everything tomorrow if I can. My Ksport coilover setup is coming in today so I'm spending my night and whole day tomorrow doing that. I'll get pics of everthing asap.

Yeah, I was going to do that, but in my opinion it was just not fitting right and I was quickly losing my patience. So I took it to them because I knew they could get it to work somehow. Turns out they did a very nice job. Pics will be coming tomorrow probably. Ksports did not show up tonight for some odd reason...slow Fed Ex, but I'm hoping for tomorrow but I'll shoot some pics of the lip before I start that project.

Actually I went to Advanced Auto Parts and got some poxy plastic weld stuff. Seems to hold pretty good. Just need to sand it now, but I think it should be ok.
