Belly Pan Dilema

STLTH WGN · 06-27-2008, 03:37 PM

so last night i'm looking for parking and find only one spot that is tighter than a tuna can and take it. I'm pulling foward and there's a dip that pushes me up on the curb, i heard a grind underneath and just ignored it. When i left the pan ripped right off but didn't notice until driving on the freeway, it sounded like my ride was a train! got home and sure enough it was ripped off!

i go to the stealership today and had to get another cause i'm weary of leaving the frame and engine compartments underneath exposed so $80 later it's all installed

The moral of the story............. Back up and park!

Try and think of how bad it could have been, at least it was only 80 bucks as opposed to repairing your bumper.

$80 actually doesn't sound like such a rip off, considering you got the part from a dealership.

I'm glad you've gotten the problem fixed

I guess it wouldn't be a reverse camera then. I think HL has one on the front, but not sure how low it is.
