Funny you should mention that! Initially there were only 2 snowplows in the entire city that worked! They had to bring them in from surronding cities and counties to clear the roads. The highways were parking lots, it truly was comical! I'm originally from Chicago, so this white stuff doesn't surprise me - but it does surprise the locals! They all drive scared and cause sooooo many accidents, just because it's wet outside! Those of us that know hot to drive in the stuff simply stay at home - because you have to worry about everyone else hitting you!

Anyways...here's a new pic I took this morning...let me know what you think y'all!

That looks really jacked up.. I think you will be buying some new parts.

I couldnt imagine having mine on the road when it is snowing and hate driving it in the rain. Is this like your daily driver? or did you just get caught off guard by the snow. I would assume that it had to be all over the road.

that sucks. We got like 3 inches over in northern cal a few days ago. But definitely have it fixed either way. That sucks that its pretty much money down the drain to get it back to where it was just the day before but its what you gotta do. It just reminds me of those ****ty accords or civics with their POS ricer body kit that is all jacked up in the front from hitting curbs and ****.

Snow in Vegas and Texas, lol.
I bet we'll have some as well, here in FL, by January
Thanks to G. Warming eh?

First, I feel bad for you...
It could have been a fun day, with the snow and all, but fate wasn't on your side.

Second, that bumper is trashed I'm afraid...
Repairs will never look right IMO.

I can't see too well on the pictures, but if it's possible to cut a straight line across the whole bottom, you might be able to incorporate a chin spoiler.
A CDC, GT500 or maybe the Roush.
I'm a Mad Modder , so I think extremes, lol.
It would be better instead of trying to reattach the mangled piece.

In any case, good luck to you.

Snicksrolos,
pascal brings up a good point and I never even thought about trying out a different chin spoiler. Im going back to michigan in january so i might be able to grab my roush chin spoiler and we can try that out but i doubt you wanna wait that long. It does look like the roush one will be very close to the cervinis chin spoiler lines.

Well...here's an update folks!

I did consider your suggestion Pascal, because ReaperGT and I had talked about doing that to my bumper anyways - because it is so damn low!

I did quite a few internet searches, and placed some frantic phone calls, and stumbled upon a shop here in Vegas that has encountered this problem before! I couldn't believe it man, they had actually had to repair a Cervinis bumper in about the same spot before!

I went down to their shop, and checked out some pics and videos they took during the process, and was amazed at the final result! So...I'm going to give it a try and see how it turns out!

Here's a couple more pics of the damage...and one more beautiful one with the "Vegas Snow"!

...and that is exactly why I'm getting this taken care of immediately!!! LOL!!!

I couldn't even stomach the thought of my sweet ride being compared to a ricer!
