Well. I dont know a whole lot about cars. Been just listening and reading aloton here andto Forbidn, CrazySVT, MnfocusS, foci that go to uni mostly.
Right now I am wanting to get a CAI, exhaust, rims, tires, seats, tinted windows, and possibly different headlight/tail lights or at least get them tinted. I plan to save up money during the winter here after I get caught up money wise and get my car ready for winter.

I like the 08. but...i hate that there is nothing really out there yet for upgrades. Itsucks going uni and being one of the few pathetic stockcars out there....especially compared to theother foci from mnfocus. theonly reason why I was thinking ofgetting a differentcar...or another car...maybe.... is 1. wanna get a manual tranny, 2. more selection in aftermarket parts, 3. can trade out parts and whatnot on here. I like the 08.great gas milage and all. acclerates good, handles good.... but dont like the limited selection on aftermarket.

How many accidents you been in now?

BTW, Minnesota is a SHARED FAULT state. even if the other driver is drunk, speeding and runs a red light you are still 10% responsible for the accident be cause you could have stayed home, took a different route, or many other possibilities that would have made it so you weren't in the middle of the inersection at that exact moment in time on this huge earth. not arguing, it happened to me....

DO NOT do anything. eith go with the idea of waiting. or get it buffed. that is totaly buffable. i had black marks on mine once, and they said it could be buffed, and it was buffed. that really isn't ad at all, you could buff it yourself, i'll buff it if you want... cost.. what ever is left of the crap you buy to buff. i suggest "BLACK MAGIC"

got a quote on the damage today. they aresaying 600on damage to my car. Thatincludes repainting and clear coating, realigning the bumper and putting in anew headlight. Im not too worried about it right now. but afterthe winter, Im gonna want to fix it

I know of a body shop in Bloomington and I know we don't charge even close to that much for a bumper job. Call the owner Tim @ 952-994-7486. They do good work and it gets done quick. They are a small shop but as of right now they are extremely slow this time of year and could use the work so the sooner the better. Mentioning me wont get you any kind of deal I don't think but you can certainly try LOL.

Just had my rear bumper painted (off of the car) at Hoepner's on 7th st. in St. Paul.
cost = $190
