indianghetto · 06-16-2010, 09:31 AM

was behind a pt cruiser and he nailed the tire and then it flew into me

i had no time to swerve so now i don't know what to do

should i just push it back out and put an aftermarket oem lip on it?

will i be able to just slap that bad boy on?

Alpine Whiteboy · 06-16-2010, 09:40 AM

Should be able to, if when you pull your OEM back out, the lines aren't messed up and creased in any way that would cause the aero lip to not sit flush. I'm pretty sure the shop can make minor adjustments to make it fit afterwards anyway but yea u should be able to

take a heat gun and sweep the bumper from the back and pop that thing out since it doesn't have any paint damage...that's the beauty of PU

At first glance I thought you wrote "hit a retard on the road". I was thinking WTF?!

phistyle · 06-16-2010, 11:04 AM

that's life...shit happens...

BOSSBMW · 06-16-2010, 11:08 AM

I ran over some jackasses bungie cord with the S hook on both ends, and so far I cant see anything but havent looked real hard yet as I heard a thuddish kind of sound. So a metal S hook had to hit somewhere I just hope it wasnt anything noticible or mechanical.

PS Sorry for your Bad Luck as well.

ragingclue · 06-16-2010, 11:59 AM

You can pop that right out if you can get to it from the other side and, like a previous poster mentioned, heat it up a bit.

No paint damage would mean you could probably make it look like it never happened.

What's a retread?

Truck tires are generally retread; it's a way of recycling or re-using I guess. That's what you see all over the road all the time. They're pieces of crap.

luv135i · 06-16-2010, 12:19 PM

make ins comp claim..it would fall under flying debris. Depending on whut your deductible is.

jayely1 · 06-16-2010, 12:24 PM

Thought this said, Hit a retard at first.

Damn. I always wondered why the hell that shit was everywhere. Is there no way to fix that? LOL. Someone who isn't paying attention could get in an accident.

my deductible is 1k so probably just pop it out myself haha

yea retreads are cheap way to save the rest of the tire (the steel mesh and sidewalls), but basically glue on another set of treads. which tend to come off very often

and then hit my car

i'll try the heat gun suggestion tonight.. thanks... but its a good excuse to put an aero lip on
