Worst feeling ever waiting to pull over or get where you are going to survey the damage...  :'(

Sadly it is the wife's car, so I can't go too crazy on it...just a simple tune for now.

Sucks. A little duct tape will fix you right up. Spray a little Plasti-Dip on it too. Good as new.

How did it happen?  Looks like the kind of damage I regularly get from curb stops.  Especially the ones that have rods holding them in place.

Get 'er all done soon, geswek!  Good luck.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I just got pulled over for my tint by a f****** rookie.

Gah, I'm done. This day can go to hell.

He gave me a warning that basically states I have 5 days to find a cop, show them I stripped tint, and have it signed--mailed in. Otherwise they send me a citation/fine/something; dunno. My buddy has some PA friends and is looking into it. If it's just a $150 fine or something, f**k it I'll just pay it.

My mates roll around with 5% tint and I get nabbed for 15%.
