Stolen Parts

Just a heads up. My Alpine II 318is' IS Lip and splitter were jacked off my car in Federal Way. If anyone see's any Craigslist adds or some such, this lip has been repaired on the drivers side. The back side will have the patch evidence. Is black. Obviously, a splitter.

Watch your valuables.

That really sucks, I keep hearing about this more and more and it makes me happy I don't have anything valuable on my front end. Sorry to hear about that.

I knew it was coming when I posted, but seriously, WTF?? Why are people stealing these lips?

To sell them for drug money, I had someone steal my grill and lip once in Salem, next day it was at this little rat hoarder store I knew exactly who did it, but couldn't prove shit. Cops shut him down a couple months later. EDIT: Yes you read correctly they ripped of, and broke my grill.

'eh. It happens. I figure it's some kid or just a total scum bag that's not really into the comunity aspect of our cars that needed one for his. It did look cool and if you have basic knowledge of how it goes on, it's really too easy to steal.

I'm bummed because it makes the front end look ghetto, but I've got another one ordered on its way AND it's new. No repair done to it and maybe the paint will come out better on this one than the one I bought the car with. Whatever paint the previous owner used caused 3 different types of paint to wrinkle and rub off. Had to take it down to bare plastic to get a half decent coat on it.
