You'd think time and parts in upgrades would count for something. They should cash you out for a new FB plus shop time to swap everything over.

You'd think, but it doesn't work that way. I'm getting $2k and I keep the car. I'm selling it as is with almost all the parts and all the spare parts for $2000.
I just want out of it so I can get a reliable car to take me through law school. Then once I get a job I can do a ground up restoration 20B Bridgey build I've been dreaming about.

Sorry to hear about the the wreck. Been there before and it sucks. The S4 is a good car and I've even thought about one of those myself as of late but I'd only get the V8 models. Glad to hear your going to school though. Keep us posted with what you end up buying.

I think that splitter would look nice on my turbo FB with fender flares and some dish wheels, out of curiosity, why you say that splitter cost 5k in carbon ? can you break it down?

****, I just saw this thread. I am sorry to hear the news. Get another DD, and build another 7 in the future. You'll be back. You'll end up with the
"Fiebre".

I also love that front splitter. Even if you're not selling it, you should post alot of detailed pics of it, so we
can emulate it. We can even call it the "Hyper4mance2k" Style splitter. Just like we have The "IoTuS" tailights, and
the "Jeff20B" DFLDLIS???

Haven't been on here in a while so I just saw this. I'm sure you're crushed Adrian, everybody who ever met you could tell how much this car meant to you just by the way you perked up when you talked about it. I feel for ya man...but I'm sure you'll recover. Can't keep a good man down.

I'm told you can also settle the medical bill with them and get a pretty penny for it [$6K+]
This is another reason why insurance is such a waste. Insurance is fucked up enough without this kind of crap. If you NEED treatment fine, but this "get all you can" attitude is fucked up!

Look up my splitter thread. This is not commercially available carbon.

Look up my splitter thread. This is not commercially available carbon. None of the carbon on my car is. It was all made by an aerospace carbon engineer.
