Okay here we go!
This is the day when I picked it up. I believe it was April 2007:
I rarely did much on the car between the beginning and 2011 (the boring years). I only installed an Injen CAI, DDM Tuning 9006 6000K HIDs, SuperbrightLEDs dome lights and clear fog light kit.
Sept. 2011: I installed EBC Redstuff Brake Pads, JDM Yellow Fog Light Kit paired with 102 SMD LED H11 bulbs.
I really didn't like the look since it wasn't that bright.
Nov. 2011: I fully detailed my car and decided to take a photoshoot with my friend's GLI.
Then the unthinkable happened. This happened two weeks after the photoshoot.![sadbanana :sadbanana: :sadbanana:](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/2/sadbanana.gif)
It was a very rainy day and my car lost control at only 45mph. When I hit the brakes, it didn't stop and just kept sliding causing me to rear end someone. That someone was my friend. I was following him to go to his house. Luckily, my insurance company was able to pay for the repair on both cars (my car took a bad hit and I thought it was totaled). My car then sat in the body shop for at least two months.
Here she is in the shop waiting for me.
First thing I did when I drove it back home was re-flip the license plate the way it was before. Lol. I also had the LED bulbs changed to regular Sylvania halogen bulbs.
I then plasti-dipped the lower portion of the top grille.
