basically without getting too off topic i need to find a new insurance company.. i have 20 days to do so. so start popping off names of insurance companies and ill call later tonite..

2nd when i went to pick up the car it wouldnt start.. after realizing it wasnt the battery i began to think.. what could it be.. at one last hope to get it started..something in the back of my head told me to put it any gear so i went for reverse and it started up real fast... idk what it could be..

i tint looks good. so do the rims.. ill show it all tomorrow around 10 am..

Progressive.com
Geico.com
State Farm
Allstate
Nationwide


Let me guess. your insurance company is not going to insure you because of 2 claims so quickly?

Your best bet would be to go to an insurance broker and find a small insurance company willing to insure you considering your cirumstances. Progressive, Nationwide, Geico, etc. are all larger companies and might not take on a "high risk" driver such as yourself. Not saying you are one, just saying that's probably what they consider you. Look for small brokers in your area, or try AllState.

I hear Allstate is really good with high-risk drivers. I hope you figure everything out.

If you call progressive or Geico they should have someone they can recommend you to and get you a quote for.

Yeah that's why I suggested them. Do an online quote through insurance.com see what it lands you. In RI infractions drop after three years.

do NOT install it, paint it first.

Looks real good though, hard to tell in the night. Did you get the sunroof tinted too?

yes i know on the lip kit. it will possibly be painted this weekend. and put on Kyra on sunday.

well the sunroof was already tinted so i just left it how it was. you cant really tell any difference unless you stepped up on a ladder and looked straight down.
