Default wild raccoon roadkill ebay story!!

so i was on my way to my girlfriends, it was about 1am the other night and dark as hell. in the corner of my eye at 50mph i see the head of a raccoon and an instant later as i hit the brakes i hear a hard "thud" followed by a second, i take my foot off the brake and my wheels unlock, and a get back in my lane from a vain swerv. i didn't even stop, i figured it was dead and my front end was covered in racoon blood. i mean i ran it over with my front and rear wheels, there is no way it survived! so i get to the front gate of the base i live on and get out to asess the damage. to my astonishment my $50 mugen style ebay lip is gone (like someone just took it off) and there are two pairs of legs pertruding from under my liscense plate!! it was the dead baby raccoon!!! so i pop the hood and i see its head through where my A/C used to be. one of the fine base police pushed it through into my engine bay with a special tool. an hour later i return with my girlfriend and decide to gather what was left of my second lip (the first of which she ran over and shattered after hitting a pothole). to my abosolute astonishtment it was completely intact!!

to think.... i was about to spend $100more on a carbon fiber one, and almost considered $400 more on a mugen one from king.

so not only does it fit great, but it can withstand being run over.... twice. ebay lips have a thumbs up from me!
