thanks lou its not bad to do especially when it has adhesive on it, then just spray soapy water on both the window and tint get it into position and go to town!

Taz that sucks but as long as there is no damage that is good,

i can empathize with both you and mike now that we have the intrigue and it has the same setup like the monte, there is time i'm just pulling in/out of driveways ect and hit the airdam or scrape the thing on the ground

I was extremely pi$$ed off at the time. After I saw it was okay, I was relieved. But then thought about if I had to replace it, I could've gotten it custom painted. With the teeth painted black (instead of buying the SLP lower grill), and putting my SLP upper grill on with the area behind it painted flat black.

Taz-hate it when that happens. Luckily no damage or from the above post, you may have been better off. late check in for me as it has been all week. Going in early and love to sleep so I get the most i can and verily get towork on time. Takes me an hour to get there. Talking to another paving company about a job. Can't get the respect at my company. They are all worried about their own a$$es and will throw you to the wolves fast. been there 16 years and tried and tried to get out of my job into something else with them but my bosses either say negative things about me or just flat out say NO to them. people in my job are hard to come by with experience. There are 4 of us in my northern division ths year covering the work of 6. 3 quit over the winter due to being treated badly. My bosses suck. I just emailed them and within 20 minutes they had gotten back with me with some answers. I asked them some more, but probably wont hear back from them tonight. Sorry for the long post but we all must check our options and try to be happy. Nothing worse than dreading going to work everyday..

Taz I had that happen to me a few months ago sort of. I pulled into a spot and the curb was a little higher than the car and scrape three or four deep scratches on the bottom of the ground effects. There not to noticeable from the top but if you get down you can see them. I'll have to touch it up one of these days.

Jerry hopefully things will get better for you. I'm in a similar situation and it's not fun.

I've had it happen numerous times. Most of the time, its just misjudging a curb in a parking lot

I'm ill due to a drawer bouncing off a truck on the interstate during rush hour... I hit it and it exploded... then cracked all of the paint in the area it hit causing a spiderweb crack spreading 2 1/5' from point of impact.

Ouch man! That hurts Augi. I'm cringing just reading it. What's the deal with the truck driver not making sure his load was secure? Were you able to get a license plate number at least?

Todd, what up man? I just saw some news about a Texas Rangers fan going for a foul ball and falling and he was fatally injured.... he was there with his son when it happened!.... so very sad that something like that happens...... stuff like that makes me very sick....

by the way, how are you doing Todd? I've been off work for the week on vaca time, I was hopefully going to get things straightened out with buying my moms house but the guy at the bank is also on vaca....
