yeah im physically fine.
girl was sitting facing my lane of traffic waiting to turn onto a highway on ramp. she pulled out across my lane to turn onto the ramp, she claimed "she thought i was merging onto the ramp" (i had no turn signal on, and was already past the on ramp entrance for my traffic direction) so she "turned to the on ramp, then realized i was coming straight, panicked and braked." her exact words. so she was sitting broadside in my lane 50-60' in front of me going 35, i had enough time to curse, stand on the brakes and brace for impact.

Really? ******* really?
Yes really.
To keep my post on topic before aMaff goes on a rant; I hope she gets fixed up nice and pretty soon, MonkeyAss. Sucks you'll have to crack open the new headlight for paint all over again though. But glad you're okay.

Damn! Also glad you're okay. Wait a day or two for the final verdict on 'okay' though. Often pain will spike well after the event.
Never is.
Never is.

I second this! If you weren't checked out at the scene or went to the hospital that day, I'd still go anyway. Better to get checked and have any possible injuries documented than to wait it out thinking "I'll feel better tomorrow".
As for the female driver, I have to wonder if she was texting, tweeting, etc? Regardless, happy to hear that you walked away from it.
no i didnt get checked out at the scene, i had so much adrenaline pumping that i wouldn't have felt anything anyway. Ive been very cautious over the last few days and nothing feels out of sorts, no pain spikes, stiffness, soreness... nothing
she claims she thought we were merging onto the highway and pulled out, then realized we werent and panicked and braked but yeah i have no idea to be honest what actually happened.

it looks like its mainly cosmetic. there wasnt much in the way aftermarket parts in the area of contact. the bodyshop i took it to is a friend of mine's. hes done amazing work on some badass muscle cars and has a couple incredibly fast/modded cars himself (building a 1000+hp twin turbo fox body, 2 srt4 neons that are stupid fast, the one has a parachute and ~700whp. i feel confident the car is in good hands
so im thinking since i have to have paint and body work done anyway, i found this spoiler and really like it... i know its a little over the top and maybe a little ricey, but im thnking getting it FRP and then painted to body color. i think it would look incredible and give it a bit more aggressive look, but want some other opinions... what do you guys think?
meh, i think its too big unless you have a monster front air dam to match and some 255 width wheels with monster flares. but, thats much further than i would take the car. i think the MSM would look good with the small factory side skirts and a simple ducktail trunk lid or spoiler.
well the car will be getting 15x9s with 225-45-15 tires (widest i can go for a street legal tire in 15'') once its out of the body shop, and i have been giving thought to the Track Dog Racing front splitter as well.
