Swapped the valence and bumper last night so the car could have some self respect driving around for the next couple days. Looks decent, almost can't tell it was ever hit aside from the missing headlight. It just looks like it got a black eye now, instead of needing reconstructive surgery to the cheekbone, nose and jaw.
I drove it to work so I could drop it off with my friends at bavarian garage (around the corner from where I work) to get new front tires mounted. As someone pointed out before, they were bald :D too much autox. Also looked like I flat spotted them when I slammed the brakes in the accident... there were two huge black tire marks on the highway (abs where were you?)

Yea the more parts that got pulled off, the more stuff we found broken and my buddy paid to have it all replaced. Im paying for the bumpers getting painted, but other than that it was all on him.
I was tired of looking at that "wasted" pic and pulled an old one from a fun day on Mulholland. Seemed like an appropriate replacement picSimon

Got new front tires since they were pretty bald.
Finally installed the new passenger side speaker (they sound awesome!!)
And drove to work today without the hood on my car... I parked on the roof of the parking structure to hide haha. I'm picking up another bronzit hood after work. This one looks like it's in excellent shape and won't need paint. I'd be thrilled if I could find another driver fender in better condition in bronzit. That way I'd only need to paint the bumper and valence. Also picking up a black carpet from the same guy!! Woohoo! I've been wanting to do that for a long time (though I'd prefer grey).

I swear your ears must have been burning... My brother just bought a beautiful hellrot over dove grey e36m3 and asked me what kind of tuning options existed. Literally 20 minutes ago I told him to go to you. He's at Fort Benning just outside of Columbus. I think he might visit your shop this Saturday.
