Well I've been thinking of upgrading bumpers recently to m5 or maybe lumma for the past few weeks. I guess now I have a reason to upgrade. I was driving back to work from lunch on 35, and I was behind a truck, all of a sudden the truck switches lanes, and whats in front of me? A huge piece of plywood or a tire, couldn't tell exactly. I couldn't switch lanes or go on the shoulder at all, so I smashed into it completely going 80. My exit was right ahead so I waited to see the damage at work. I pull in and the bumper is cracked, and the grill inside is f'ed. I'm always doging shit dumbasses drop on the roads here. I guess I wasn't so lucky today. Now the question is should I go with lumma or m5 bumper??

Lumma gets my vote. It's very original without looking too far out there. Sorry to hear about the accident, but it might just be a blessing in disguise.

Damn Phil!!! Glad you're okay, too bad your luck ran out. Lumma also gets my vote, it's more unique. I have some plans to make my car a little more unique as well (getting tired of the standard M5 Tech /M-tech look)

As long as you walk away it's not a bad gig, get the mods you want and maybe even pocket some cash 
Same thing happened to me a month or so back. Gonna be honest though, it was a little rough rockin the toyota corolla those couple weeks
