Wow that sucks. I ran into an underground pillar will looking the other way when exiting a parking space once. Still haven't fixed it; would cost about $1,500.

My buddy works in the body shop so he is gonna see what he can do for me. Im also looking at flares to see if i can hide most of it. Still need to fix the part by the rear bumper but that is alot better then trying to fix body lines

My wife and I were just cruising around the board and saw your post. She goes: “Hey you know all about that.” We were at our local post office which has underground parking with many concrete support pillars and while backing up, I managed to scrape & dent severely the driver’s side front fender. I also had my head turned the other direction. Since it was the wife’s car, I had it repaired immediately.

It was so much fun. I just need wider front tires and it should kill the understear so thats next on the list of mods

Flares plus spacers till you can afford some wider rims. Do it, don't be gay, flare it.

well if wheels didn't cost 1500$ then i might think about it more. a nice 10 inch rim with a 305 on it sounds nice.
