ok, so i finally took some pics of the damage

and i dont turn my body to back up, i guess i worded that wrong....i was trying to say that i was actually paying attention to what was behind me, using the mirrors....so people didnt think i just backed up without looking

and on to the pics

On the bright side it wasn't the trunk itself.

On a related note, how can one fix scratches on the plastic bumper, as I backed into a low wall the other day. Damn thing was in front of the curb, and came up just high enough to smack the center of the bumper.

I was looking at the passenger mirror and never saw the wall, it only covered half the parking space, too bad it was the half I wasn't watching.

Here's Nocturnx's sig pic with the LED tail lights.

Don't know if this gives you enough of an idea.




His are from Altezza. They have them in black (shown above), red, and chrome.

I think the black look best on a black car. But that's just me.
