Wow that's bad. Can't believe that's how much damage those tires can make. Did it cause the huge ass bump or just the scratches? I always see those blown out tires when I'm going home! Kinda scrary actually.

ouch man...I hate to see that.

Looks like you hit a white paint can...and it spattered back on your wheels.

are your wheels damaged from the tire or just peeling? What did you use to paint them. You should re-do them with some dupli-color grahpite!

This is exactly why I NEVER drive behind a semi. I do everything possible to stay away. Even if their tire doesn't blow, they get ya with all the rock chips ;(

it caused the huge dent and the majority of the paint loss on the front bumper. anyone have any idea if that dent can be popped out so i dont have to buy a whole new fender? i was able to pop a little bit of the dent out myself so i would think the rest could be popped out at a bodyshop.

Fuckin semi's man. As you know, my whole front got fucked up by one too on tuesday. Semi's need their own damn highway lane thats blocked away from other traffic. Eh, well my front bumper is worse than that...lol

Man, what the heck is happening to all these DSM's this week? Anyways, the front bumper looks like it can be salvaged but you will need a new passenger fender, and headlight.

front bumper cant be fixed. if you look at the pics i put in jsupetran's post, there is actually a part where it ripped some so i need to buy a whole new one. i should have a new front end on by the end of the month, maybe early next month. after that, ill hopefully be getting some gst chrome wheels and begin to fix the rest of the body.

If you need headlights I got my stockers. you will need to get the wiring harness out of your headlights though, mine are in the projectors. they may also need a little buffing to get out the rock chips and weathering that have occurred over the years. I'll take 60 plus shipping
