    It was already dead. I hit it as soon as I got back from Iraq when I was on vacation in Florida. Came around a turn and there it was. That opposum hit the bumper, h-pipe, drive shaft, mufflers, rear end and managed to get some of it on the rear bumper (on the inside of it). It stunk for about 2 weeks. I couldn't pressure clean it off. If you'll notice the part where the opposum hit actually discolored more than the rest of it.

    If you lived around here it would be really easy, people cant drive at all, kinda makes me enjoy having a truck because if they hit me the only damage is to them cuz my hitch is gonna hurt.. if they go under that they get tips and wheels. I need to get smashed so i can get another stang....

    That bumper looks good but there's no way I'd put it on my car. It wouldnt survive getting out my driveway.

    Thats what i thought too when i got the cobra r, my parents live on a rock road and has some ruts cut out from their 4x4's and i would go in 1st gear letting it almost idle and still scraped the bottom every now and then, it really changed my driving habits alot when i got it, made be really careful

    It's crazy low with 17 inch wheels for sure. With 18's though it picked it up and I don't scrape hardly at all any more. I've pretty much learned where I can and can not go with the car. It's awesome though when there's paint on it though.
