i went got it ajusted today they give me the svt bumper no problem, plus all work came out to 1700. - my 500 deductable i get 1200. i got home took off the busted bumper. got my favorite tool. (Sledgehammer, straiginted out the bak panel, its still in good condition, well fair condition. put the stock bumper on there its like nothing happened. only thing i have left to repair is the crack in the weld point.
im starting to change my mind about the svt ground effects. i might sell the skirts and front bumper, and just get se skirts, i dont care for the ground effect no more, i would like to get some rims instead. or put somting under that hood, better yet make it an mtx. or save the money for college im starting in july. the car is 7 years old now, so ill be looking for a new 1 soon anyway.
well thx for all your info about the bent frame, it looks like it is but the adjuster said it isnt o well, it does feel a little different.
btw after i put the stock bumper on the car definally feels way different, at high speeds.
im going to shower now im so damn dirty its not even funny. lets just say this white boy is black now.

Good Idea.
Just drive it and see if something else comes up, if you want MTX, best to get car with one already.

Can never have too much money for college... Or cars for that matter!  Good luck! Cars and college make $$$ evaporate at a rediculous rate. Only a house could be worse. Let the fun begin? What college will you be going to?
