Default PPW Crashed and Repainted and New RIMS

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately I crashed my car, I was driving back home from work, and it was raining like hell, and like most drivers here have slipped, and I went directly from the road to the next mountain and crashed my car. I almost cried. The passenger door opened during the accident, that was very scary, My girl got a lot of scratches for bouncing in the seat (no seat-belt on) - (always use it).

The Insurance Co. paid for the paint and I decided to buy some rims and Eibach Springs.

Here are the pics of the acc and with the rims not with the springs, and the New DVD hooked up with the Ipod Video (nice, I am in LOVE).

Glad to hear you guys are alright. If my door opened during a crash, I would no doubt be crapping my pants.

The after photos are great. A passenger is your responsibility. Seatbelt ON and lock the door.

Well, the curious thing is that the LOCK was on, I can tell you that if it wasnt cuz of the curtain airbag and the seat aribag my girls would just flown away.

BTW, what about the HPR5 rims, do they Look good in black or should I just paint then in white or stone grey?

Looks like that airbag went off. Did you have to replace that? What kind of dvd screen is that?

Yes I had to replace two aribags and send the CPU to be fixed, the alarm of crash wont come off.

The Screen its I Purchased from ebay the T7700 but I received a Power Acoustic one. Eh, for $100 you can beat it. (I think) jeje but it actually looks goos, is just the iPod resolutioin compression it was too low, and when maximized looks awfull.

Looks like the shop did a good job! Did you wrap the wheels in better rubber?

Gotta love Family Guy...

Yes actually the new rims are wrapped in some BFGoodrich GForce.

I am at PR, so its summer all year, sorry Guys that are cold righ now, but weather here is almost 90 degrees, heheheheh,


Also I didnt slip from a Mountain, I slipped to the mountain, jejejej not that bad.

The car was re-painted complete.

BTW, I am looking for Final Drive 3.5, If some one replaced the MT to the 3.9, and is willing to sell the 3.5 I am interested.

Thnx for looking

looks very nice, don't paint the rims! black on ppw is GORGEOUS imo, im def planning on black rims when the time comes.

thanks for posting pics of the curtain airbag, i didn't know how exactly it comes out. looks like it protects the passenger quite well from the window.
