No worries and it wasn't my car, thankfully! No one was hurt so keep the jokes coming. Who is in for a tree rack group buy?

Haha god damn run flats! I love how they have the warning flag around the tree. A little too late.

Corners Flatter!

Home-grown mods like this sometimes aren't worth the extra effort required to make them work.

Plus now...you have a termite problem...and no factory warranty to rid the pesky bugs.

I probably would have gone with different racing stripes or different body kit. Does not seem very aerodynamic.
