Damn, $1,000 deducitable? You should pay a little extra for the premium and drop that down to at least $500....

Sorry to hear about your fog light - hate those tire gators! but like above great reason to change out the lip for a Mugen one!

Hope all goes well.

i got atacked by a road gator the other day too. i came onto the off ramp at ludicrus speed and it was all across the road so it was either hit it or try to swerve and prob end up rolling. now my front lip is loose and covered in black marks but atleast i didnt wreck. serves me right for going ludicrus speed on the highway i guess. haha. thats good you got it fixed and it didnt turn out to be a major wound. gotta love jbweld.

I think tire schmack is considered an act of god. I feel your pain, bro.

all i gained was a brown spot in my pants from almost crashing and a loose lip with black marks on it. LMAO!!! maybe a little bit but i had all i could do to try to hear over the intake. that sucker is loud. it sounds like a freakin jet taking off at WOT. my radio cant even drown it out. but yea either way i was asking for trouble takin Ruby to ludicrus speed. sometimes it takes a close call like that to wake you up and realize your an idiot.

correct, but if it's a part that is expected to be thrashed on the road, it should have been built sturdier ("like a rock" if you don't mind a pun). a fog light man? it's not honda's fault for the road gator, but possibly in part due to a faulty part that should have been designed to withstand such a "calgary flames type beatdown"

haha. -1 for me from illusive . us hockey guys rule.

back on topic before claymore gets mad...

i say call honda and fight it, maybe they have a lot of fogs that break, i think it should have been built better.

Your cutie little post just shows your ignorance of the difference between a warranty problem and a road accident.

if you would actually take the time to actually try to understand a post, instead of trying to see what to complain about, you would have seen what angle i was coming from.

but thanks for calling me a cutie, i'll take you to dinner sometime *smooches*
