Some of you might remember my gf getting into a accident wayyyyy back on July 3rd, well after it took the douchebag 3.5 weeks to report the accident, I finally finished my car! No comments on the wheels being bling-bling, they are OEM Lexus wheels, all aftermarket wheels looked out of place on such a boring car as the Lexus. Besides, I didnt have to pay for them anyhow, lol. Got new headlights, mirrors, grill, fender, bumper, and some other odds and ends, a compleate re-paint on both colors, the bottom color was originally a semi-gloss anyhow and looked shitty. All in all, it took a while dealing with this assholes insurance company, but I made out with my car getting re-done ( by myself ), new rims and tires, and still managed to put $2600 in my pocket. Had that Infinity I35 rental car for 32 days as well- they charged his insurance company a cool $1920 for it .. thats what he gets for being a ******* with no patience who wanted to cut off traffic!

The rims are OEM Lexus wheels on a 2000 Es300, I beat the living hell out of the rental I35, got the transmission light to come on, the service engine soon light to come on, had to reset that **** before I brought it back, the torque steer was horrendous, and the new Mazdaspeed Protege supposidly has WORSE torque steer, **** that ****, so much for that being a replacement for my girlfriends 2000 Galant. The car did have nice power, 255 or 260 I believe, and they thankfully gave me a traction control disable switch, thing laid down rubber for a block or so.
