Default Wow, you really DO know your cars!

.... Why, yes... that IS the imprint of an early 2000's Cadillac STS with the five spoke option on my bumper. She's going in for minor surgery sometime this week, once the insurance people tell me where to take her. I have to say, considering how hard I hit that car... she survived quite well. Pretty much just the slightly cracked bumper, a little misalignment of the hood, and the grille broke (can't really tell, but it's cracked off at the bottom where it connects). Anyway, the Cadillac is a bit worse for wear... going to need some new body panels.

Have them check to make sure that the frame isn't tweaked. Hope you are OK.

Now's your chance to get a SRT-6 bumper.

Nope, no airbag deployment and thankfully, no one was injured. I'm sure it felt harder than it really was. lol I was considering getting a different grille altogether, since I have to now anyway. I don' t like the mini-van looking one and I've been putting off buying something different for too long. And it is looking like the bumper may need to be replaced as it is slightly cracked.. but, don't know yet. If it is, I'll look into the SRT one. I'll have to go scouring for pictures to see what's different.

The lower chin spoiler and when I looked at Mopar Partz the SRT6 cover was less than the regular cover.
