Those rays look SICK

Are you replacing all the airbags? I thought that would total it right there.

Ouch man I'm so sorry hear, glad you're safe bro! Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

BTW is your car boosted? I see gauges!

On a different note, it's so funny how no one is commenting on how the wheels got bent because they're Volks. I'm sure if this was a Vossen or any other non-JDM wheel people would've been acting all wise on you right now

Well going 60-65mph into/over anything is going to hurt a wheel.

You generally see people calling out other wheels for falling to much, much less than that.

I'm sure the new version of your G will be awesome. I'm just wondering if it would've been easier (and not too much more $) to start fresh with a straight car? Just curious. I can't imagine what the repair shop bill would be just to put it back like it was.

Holy crap! when i read about the speed bump i never thought your car is gonna end up that bad.. wow... that's pretty crazy. But nice come back, its definitely gonna look sicker after everything is installed. How do you like the new exhaust compared to the older one? more growl?

I was actually going to comment to the contrary, Sam. If those wheels were of lesser quality, they would be shattered in pieces. Those wheels are bent, not broken. Look at the damage to the rest of the car and honestly tell me that the bent wheel amazes you. These wheels bending are clearly not the result of hitting a run-of-the-mill pothole.

Man those wheels are sexy! They are going to look sick on your ride. At least something good came out of the whole situation.

Man...is insurance covering the costs of this rebuild? That sucks to have that much damage from a speed bump.


I'm anxious to see those g12's mounted. I've been wanting to buy them for a blue slate but haven't been able to visualize it enough to pull the trigger. Seeing them on Athens blue might give me a closer idea.

Nope i wont have airbags anymore they cost way too much to fix cuz i gotta buy the whole system from the dealership could be around $8000 so I'll pass on that at least for the time being.

About the wheels meeh i know =/ and yes it was boosted but not when i had the accident thank god lol less damage took it off to maintain it clean everything and such it's going back on once it's done.

I'm sorry i don't remember exactly how much it was but it wasn't much pretty decent price for a CF hood otherwise i wouldn't have got it ^^;

Nope just Rotors and pads and Stillen braided oil lines, the Akebono is pretty good for street use don't really need a bigger kit unless you're modding it for track use i think.

Nope, buying a new one is 18,000 KWD fixing it @ the dealership was 8000 KWD but doing it @ my friend's garage just us working on it saved so much money only cost 1850KWD with a new paint job :P

No idea i still have some chassis work need to be done before i check it out but i think compared to the TI-C it's a lot quieter especially with the TT kit it helps muffling the sound and keep it a lot deeper, kinda like the Invidia Gemini if i am not mistaken. ^^

Nope insurance are not covering the cost of this rebuild =/ and the car will not be blue anymore it's going to be "Arancio Atlas Orange" OR some might know it as Zele Orange(Sunrise) body and interior trim with CF hood to trunk and black badges.
