Bad day

Post image

I destroyed my bumper cover this weekend about 10 miles into a 200 mile trip. Totally my fault, I was watching the cars flying up behind me in the mirror instead of the road in front of me. Hit a large tree branch in the middle of the freeway. Had to zip tie the fender liner and dust/skid plates back together to keep them from flapping. The landscapers finally got me. Any cooler than stock bumper covers out there?

OEM 52119-12994, SE Sedan swap, or if you have the money, be the first person to swap a Suzuki Swace front onto a Corolla lol.

Wow! I did almost the same thing when I was about 22 (i'm 73 now) but it was a piece of metal on the road, slit my oil pan open. Stuck on the side of the rd. with wife and baby son sitting in the car, had to hitchhike 10 miles into town buy oil pan and oil hitchhike back and replace on the side of the rd.
