I just called up a shop and they can supply me a front bumper for 250. I might just pay insurance which is $1700and get them to fix the car up for the taxi and i.
btw crap i thought it was $650 for the set... Otomoto were selling em for 550 for a set. So maybe not.. :\

Have you tried removing the bumper and pushing the bump out? I mean.. its worth a try i guess... Removing the bumper is piss easy.
What damage did the taxi sustain?
Oh lol wish it was 650 for the set.. Otomoto must've had a different, similar set because mae riversides are the original and are pretty rare.

hahah yeah actually i was thinking about that. will try tomorrow after college 
use a heat gun/hair dryer i assume though?
well the taxi i hit was one of those tarago type ones. i hit his side door that slides? its slightly dented in but apparently the repair is costing over 1k.. :\ so i'll just go through insurance instead of paying repairs myself.
yeah nah they were legit mae riversides. just had slight gutter rash and clear coat peeling off etc thats why they were fairly cheap.

Yeah use a heatgun, hairdryers won't heat it up enough, as shown on mighty car mods when they did the tint removal haha.
Ahh those massive things.. Geez 1k.. thats hefty.
Wow that would've been a decent pick up for $550, clear coat peeling and gutter rash would've been an easy fix. I fixed up my gutter rash by hand! Lol.

Yo Alex, would you be able to photoshop a set of BBS RS's onto my car? Been thinking about getting some 17s for it. Gold or silver, it doesnt matter. Do you need a picture?

Yeah man I can do it in about half an hour or an hour. I love bbs rs.
Those are hellasick! Lol. That's a pretty decent price for wheels with 80% tyres. Shipping would only be about $50.

oh cheers dude i'm leaning towards the gold bbs's.
and yeah they look sweet man, but yeah i dont think they have the 4 lugs.
my plan is to buy a 5x114.3 in the rs's and get them filled then redrilled to 4x114.3. Spent the last week researching them and heaps of stanceworks guys have done it and had no problems.
andddd, just in case yo wanted to know, car should be repaired by early next week. got a tax return which was able to cover my accident expense
