What did you do to your FL5 today?

[DragonRider]

It's unfortunate to say but this is the fate of most road going cars. Eventually some knucklehead will hit you or you'll hit something.

that is true and why I didn't get correction of PPF. This is the first car of mine I've actually been responsible for the damage. It was always some jerk who didn't know how eyes work "I didn't see you there, but I didn't turn my head to look."

no air bags deployed, and it runs and dives, but allignment is fucked, hold the wheel at 10 o'clock to go straight.

Looks like an alignment, front fender , rear fender and door are needed also a bumper and hood . Like mentioned you should be good if the frame isn’t bent .

became rather upset with myself for not seeing the tree snot in the shadows on a corner. Then releived that I spent nothing on paint correction or PPF film. At least I'm older and have full insurance, so really just time to fix and a few k for my deductable. "I older and have more insurance" bonus points for movie reference. Any auto repair folks have a guess if it is totaled?? My amature guess is 10-20k so they won't total it??

BTW Most importantly glad your ok brother Cars are replaceable we are not.

Added the Martoffes phone holder (really clever design) and a red USB cable to match the interior.

I installed this tint kit for the sidemarker reflectors, and I’m pleased with the outcome: https://a.co/d/4Ry700z

Between $15 DIY tint and JDM headlights, this was an easy win. The reviews are bad, but most of those are complaints about tricky install. Follow the directions, and have a heat gun on hand. It’s not hard.

Was actually looking at this earlier. Looks good.

The instructions recommended mixing baby shampoo and water for a solution to spray between the headlight and film—I added water to the last of a bottle of Adam’s Waterless Wash and it worked great.

Busy last weekend:

Pumped-in exhaust audio delete

Mugen shift knob & Acuity shift boot collar

PRL Stage 1 kit

Covered Footrest (don't mind the dirt)

& a track day

Where did you get the covered foot rest?

Looks like its the same place I got mine from.

@DragonRider Dang that sucks man. Glad you’re alright. Fortunately, as others have said, it appears to be almost all cosmetic. If I were in this situation, given that like ~40% of the exterior is damaged, I’d probably look to have the whole car repainted…maybe even a custom color. When life gives you lemons, paint that shit gold.

PPF is covered by insurance

Only if you have a fender and hood to put it back on
