Well, driving around in my city it was bound to happen - something bad happening to the body kit. Sure enough last night something did
I take full responsibility for me being such an idiot but oh well, shit happens. I was pulling up to a friends house and was trying to cut it close to the curb, sure enough I went a little to close...nonetheless heres some pictures of the damage :
It really pisses me off but there isn't anything I can do. Anyone else got pictures of something bad that happened to there kit?

Yeah thats what I did this morning - put 2 coats of touch up paint - its still rough looking so I'm gonna take a q-tip and touch it up - why do you they even include those crappy brushes in the touch up paint!!!

jeez... you should see my bumper. theres absolutly no paint on the bottom lip from scraping it on stuff...and its stock to. i have about 50 door dings, my side skirts are starting to fall off, and the paint around my sunroof is cracking and turning grey (its a black car). so that little scratch doesnt look to bad to me

I know what you mean about the black. Since my car is black as well I looked at that and was like that is nothing but a little ol scratch. I thought I was gonna see pics of a bumper in 3 peices. A friend of mine broke his banshi front into 3 peices. I never got to see it but he told me the grewling story. Just be a little more careful hehe...But im sure you already know that.

Shit, I did a lot more damage than that a few weeks back in a construction zone in front of my house, imagine a T, well, the state highway is the horizontal length of the T, and my subdivision is the vertical part of the T. the highway had 2 new layers of blacktop put on it, equaling about 8'' tall, and my subdivision is gravel for awhile since they tore the road up, so I creep up to it, having to get to my classes at the local college, and jacked the whole front end up, and gashed the apexi fmic and shit... gotta love construction teams, cause they really care about us

I got tons of bottom scratches on my banshi bumper and used touch up paint from the dealership and the fiber glass soaks the touch up paint and blends well with the paint unlike when I had urethane stock bumper. Shit I hope my bumper doesnt crack in 3 peices. The banshi is so dam low but I have had it now for a Month so... we'll see...

I have scraped soooo much shit my bumper is still a champ, only scraped underneath where u cant see it...still looks like new. *crosses fingers, *knocks on wood

I got a bunch of small scrapes on mine, but the worst was when someone decided to stomp on it, and bust it. When I checked it out, there was a footprint where they stomped on it. I hate those young punks in my town here. I made a suggestion to human resources (it happened while I was at work) that someone should be watching the employees lot.

Hell the owner b4 me fucked my front end bad, though Im still happy wit the talon though. Its got the stock front end, but apprently they did the cheap quick fix, they got MAcco to get the shit painted, and like 2 months after getting the car I aready say cracks, big webs of cracks, now being over a year, about the whole bottom of the car is now grey, and the top part is starting to crack. God I hope I find a nice 97 eclipse front end soon

Man, I expected to see a kit in a bunch of pieces. That doesn't look all that bad, but still sucks. I've been through about 4 different front ends and all of them have suffered a lot worse than that. My current banshi front was broken into 3 different pieces when I went into a ditch. The blitz front I had I broke the whole triangular vent piece clear off when I hit a curb. I hope that little mishap is the worse thing your kit suffers.
