Well the other person insurance is paying for the repair. So it looks good. I have another car to drive so I am not in a big hurry. Their insurance is going to write me a check so I am thinking a bodykit.

Stock bumper with the grill and all is over $700. So i am going to get the check and get me a kit.

:D

They have a lot of positive feedbacks on their other kits. So it might be worth the shot at that price.

Well I had to decide if I was going back to stock or pull the trigger on the kit.

So I went for the kit. Hopefully it doesn't bite me in the butt'

Hey!
Just moved to Tampa all the way from Orlando. I’ve seen a few 8’s in the area and was wondering where they meet up at? Currently staying off of Fletcher near USF, but will be moving to the South Tampa area. Do you ever meet up?

Yea the body shop doing the work is one of the best, but if the fitment sucks it will be alot of money to make it right.

just incase anyone else want in on this

A few of us locals are pitching in to purchase a compression tester.

So far we have about 6 locals confirmed to contribute. The more we get the cheaper the cost.

Actually I would like to go in on one as well. I tried to get the CFL board to do it but with no real luck. Let me know how many people we get together and the final price. I want to check it and want to avoid the $100 to get it done, especially since I just clicked over 100k and I'm not under warranty anymore, so it'd be strictly info and not warranty.

That's the show on the 18th, I'm going as well. We need to work out a meeting point, I haven't been to Peabody's since summer, so I don't remember the area at all.
