Guys I had a unfortunate accident on my way to work today morning ( now looking for a new hood on Ebay) after I took out 2 construction barricades on the shoulder in order to avoid a collision with an A6 that cut me off. I didn't wanna deal with cops or insurance so I'm fixing this on my own. I'm looking for repleacement for my AE front bumper, what do U guys think of this ?

Anyone know where I can get a CF hood cheap ? VIS ? Mine has 2 large holes in it and I aint got my stock hood.

 

thats a pretty decent bumper, u might also wanna consider the custommaxima bumper. Sorry to hear about the crash man.

 

Sorry to hear about the crash, but hey you're alright!

I say get the VIS Invader hood with the Stillen front. Custommaxima's kit looks fugly!

 

sorry bro but those hug foglight kill that bumper

i liek the custommaxima one more than that

my say is STILLEN front lip OR AE front Lip
-J

 

Or get a 2k2-2k3 front bumper and put the MT lip on it. That way you can also change your grille.

 

true, but theyre an option u put different ones on... besides hes looking at stillen bumper. there isn't much competition to choose from only like 3 or four bumper choices out there

 

I would get the Stillen Aero lip not the touring. That's just me.

 

Just wondering, if the A6 cut you off and caused the accident, why didn't you want to deal with the coppers? Do you think your insurance company would stick it to you?

 

If the guy cut him off without hitting him and he hit him he'd be in trouble. No matter if the A6 caused the accident, he was in front and is not at fault.

It really sucks. My mom was passing a woman who had her left turn signal on and was on the shoulder. This woman quickly changed her mind ran into my mom. My mom was at fault. That happened a while ago.


Anyways...

Good thing you're not hurt.

 

Well reason being is I just changed insurance companys and my insurance was no longer working for just 7 days- it expired last week friday and was going to kick in tomorrow.... I never once had a accident with another car in my driving history. I figured the construction barricades are softer- plastic, than a steel A6. I don't like the invader style hood, I like the smooth lines of the stock hood. I'm thinking of that CustomMaxima front end- but its not utherane. The AE lip is MEGA expensive- it comes in 3 pieces and when U add it up it costs ALOT... I got mine for 200 when I got the car... now its alot more. I'm thinking the Aero Lip with a stock bumper cover. I don't wanna deal with cracking fiberglass.... I would put diff fog lights in the bumper if I did the CM kit. Sarona, and touring by stillen are not my style. I am gonna add a CF difuser in the front later on.

 

mike, please do NOT get that stillen bumper.

Just go with the aero lip and stock bumper. looks very clean

 

you've got PM

 

i take it DJ tryin to help you out.
other suggestion...ebay....i just got a brand new grey lustre painted front bumper for $81 (reemed on shippin, but who cares)...point is...i see a LOT of 00-01 bumpers on ebay for some sick prices. combine that with a stillen lip, and you got a better, less aggressive, and classier looking front end. i do not, repeat, do not like that full bumper replacement. i expected more from you man, tsk tsk.

and as far as the CF hood goes, talk to paradox-systems....i'm pretty sure he can take care of you on one of those....and shipping is not bad AT ALL.

 

I was thinking of the VIS hood, getting a group deal togheter as of this morning at work- in order to get shipping down to like 30 a hood. We are talking about a 10-15 hood order in like 2-3 days and then shipping em all out at the same time to save on shipping. BTW CF is pretty dent resistant unless hit with a sharp object to cause it to split... I wacked it with a ball pin hammer 5 times hard, just left a little white mark on the clear coat ! Killer for paint chips- why I got the hood really. I'm talking with DJfrestyl right now

 

do something classy. dont get aftermarket full bumper replacement. i personally like the 2k2 front with the lip.

 

Neither of those full bumper replacements compliment the lines of the max IMHO. Go w/ a lip.

 

damn that sux....i'd still just do oem bumper w/ stillen aero lip

 

hows does your hood look? post a [pic, maybe i'll take it depending on where the holes are...
