Temporary Repairs by the body shop to drive back to NY:

They installed a Sylvania Halogen lens with 50/55w bulb just to get me back. I can now do a good comparison between that and the Iceshark kit. Oncoming drivers (my brother) say that the Sylvania is actually more distracting (both aimed correctly), yet behind the drivers seat you can't even tell the Sylvania light is on (looks like a headlight is out, the Iceshark light drowns it out so much). The Sylvania does a better job of lighting up treetops though (good for spotting VA state troopers!).

Damn those tankers here on our crappy roads. Good thing you didn't take I-4 or you would be kicking yourself because the signs are like this "road work for the next 37 miles" plus the speed limit is at like 55 and then you have those cops clocking. Hope you get everything taken care of with your car.

No kidding. That's the whole reason I swerved, I wasn't concerned about he bodywork, but at one point it looked like it was going to come through the windsheild. I'm almost glad I had the fiberwerks kit which shattered & absorbed the blow, the factory bumper pads may have sent it up over the hood (although less body damage), and possibly through the windsheild of either mine or another car.

I did have a passenger at the time too, so it could've been really bad if it had come through the windsheild.

Anyone know anything about the sidemarker delete idea?

How about any good body shops in the Rochester, NY area?

I gotta start carrying a camera in my car. You never know when you'll need one... Glad you are unscathed.

Mac's II is a pretty good body shop. A tad bit pricey, but they are worth it.

There is a cafe risque off of 95 in s. carolina too (or is it n. carolina?), good texas grilled cheese, but the show was awful...
