Close up of damage

This is a close up of the hole that was left in my ZX3 after I was rear ended by a Ford F350. It's the actual tow bar that made the whole.


Before

Here is what it looked like before I had the work completed.

After


I had an SVT bumper/grill replacement used.
They only wanted to patch the hole but I took the opportubity for the insurnace to work in my favour for a change.
The hatch had a dent in it too that you couldn't see in the before picture.
It's nice and clean now with no badges or stickers.

I want to find a nice and clear front end bumber noow but haven't found one I like yet. Suggestions?

what is the thing hanging off rear bumper??

The SVT rear cover - nice!

p.s. the bumper looks great.......and yea do the SVTF as well

the grounding strips are supposedly designed to allow any static electircity generated by the car while driving to be grounded to the earth. the rubber tires insulate the car from the ground and prevent any electricity from being disipated except for when you are are touching the car and the ground. you act as a conductor and provide a path for the electricity to travel. this is the shock you sometimes get when you exit your vehicle with your hand on the door or frame.

this is the beer assisted explanation, i will edit it with the proper explanation tomorrow morning :)

looks really good , put an complete svt kit and remove that grounding strip also your muffler tp aint lighning up .

Big time improvement.
