^^ Haha, true. Whatever, I think I can afford a few posts, lol.

Today, I furthered my evil plans on swapping my blacked out CDM sedan headlights with chrome P5 ones, haha.

Interesting--most US P5 guys are all about blacking their lights out. I'm tempted to do it, too. But on a red P5, the part of the housing that wraps around the side looks silly if it's black. Only looks good on black and silver cars, IMO.

Black makes the cars look mean, while chrome indicates a playful image. I like both.

While P5 lights rule, I think the MSP setup looks best, with that space on the side being used judiciously for the corner lamps.

Sorry about your unfortunate deer encounter. I did the same thing in New Mexico. Fortunately, it was a rental car, and my deer had been run over enough that it didn't really affect anything.

$450? Dude...

I'll pass it along if I meet someone in the market for broken parts at stratospherically high prices. =P

Hmm, it could make a tax writeoff for a pro racer...

No way a shop can straighten it out and reenforce it with steel plates on either side? Sounds unlikely, but hate to see a waste of good suspension parts, haha. (Even though it's already pretty wasted.)
