Front Bumper Blues
Hi all
So, I was driving in this empty parking lot just now
and it was dark so I didnt notice this huge cavity in the ground leading to a drain tunnel, and I drove right over it around 10-15mph
I hear this huge BUMP
and I stop and take a look and the whole bottom right portion of my front bumper is completely mangled, and it actually leads all the way down the front end of my car to about 2-3ft down probably near where the engine is above.
Any feedback?? I was looking around and it all seems to be relatively plastic-y parts under there... I'm panicking
BTW drifting the evo in the rain is pretty fun

you were stupid and hit a dip in the road and you F'd up the underpaneling. i would say take it off piece by piece, ( unscrew the phillips head clips all the way then carefully pull it out.) see if anything is damaged underneath. i;m sure you could get insurance to cover it, but what a bonehead, expensive move.
LOL, how could you even write this following what you just described!?

I'll jack up the car and get some pics up tomorrow, I gotta cram for this exam I have today. It finally stopped raining so I took a look at it, it looks like everything's fine- just all the plastic underpanel is torn up- oil's ok, intercooler piping and everything looks fine too, but yea I'll have pics up by tomorrow
