Is it wrong that I just got a *****?

After a few more minor upgrades, disaster struck in the form of an inattentive driver, a rain slick road and no room to maneuver...

The PIAA's still work but the JJ modded headlights are gonna need a bit of refurb.

Teardown started Tuesday and they are just about done pulling parts off of it. I've asked the body shop manager to price me a SRT hood and a sport body colored bumper.

Sad sight my friend, but only metal... hope everyone is alright.

Not fun at all

Just a bit over $5300 should do the trick. I've got the body shop hunting down a couple of "enhancements" for me, i.e., an SRT hood vs. stock and a Sport body colored bumper vs. the stock chrome.

Hoping to have it back in a couple of weeks or so. Just gotta keep on the body shop as the shop manager seems, well, uninterested in getting to the enhancements. He's gonna get paid and it's nothing out of his pocket so...dammit...I gotta babysit him for some reason.

Yep, thats the way "most" Autobody shops are around here..Its sad.

Damn, that sucks! I really like the NFAB steps and headlights.

Should get it back early next week. The shop has had a real hard time getting the right grill. Last count, they have ordered and I have rejected four grills. They are running out of choices!

The parts guy has obviously spent too much time in a spray booth with no respirator. He tells me it would be, "thousands of dollars to convert the front from stock to what you want." I call BS. He's just lazy and since he is ordering by VIN, has no real incentive to do the parts research.

I'll do it myself...

The SRT hood is painted and on the truck. My JJ/RetroShop headlights did not survive but I placed an order with JJ last week and will get another set, blacked out with a shaved stalk and H1 projectors added. It will be a while but I can run stock units for now, no problem.

So, on it goes until they finally get done. They better hurry...I'm runnin' out of rental days on the Jeep!
