HATE gravel......
So I was doing a few spins in this nice open parking lot outside a park, and after it was all said and done i'm heading out to leave. I accidentally give a little too much gas (damn heavy pedals) and i'm turning to leave... when i start sliding on gravel and stop turning....
heading straight for two HUGE rocks seperating the park and the parking.... ? no boom? Didn't feel anything...
I thought I was safe, and I was, but I didn't get out scratch free.
No body damage I could tell, but I scratched the bottom ground effect real nice, and i cracked the paint left side of my bumper cover
about 3 inches long!
Besides that though, everything looks good... I got lucky...
Wish I hadn't ****ed up my new $3000 paintjob so soon into summer

Lol, That's actually before the paint job
Here's after the paint:

Twas beautiful huh?
Fast forward:
No body deformation I can tell, but the bottom on the right is scratched up nicely, from sliding under the rock? Also paint is peeling driver bottom corner of the GFX with more scratches down the side. Overall, very lucky, but still a big setback in my plans of making the car show worthy.
I'll at some point get the GFx painted, no big deal, I'm just worried about the big 'ole crack on my new bumper cover
And on the bumper cover between the grill and the driver turn signal is a crack in the paint from impatct.
