Update

Well today sucked then got alot better.

If you want to hear about how my day sucked, read below, if you want to see why my day was awesome, just look at the pics.

Well the car is back in the shop i took it out on my lunch break today, cashed my check, went to the piercing store to pick up some stuff and walked back to my car thinking the day was going smoothly. Wrong, get in my car, go to start it and the battery guage reads dead, how can this be possible i ask my self, take the key out, put it back in, now it reads 12 volts, go to start it again, motor barley cranks and smoke starts comming from behind the dash. Next thing you know im crapping my pants cause i think my car is on fire and smoke is still acculation in my car so i take my sweater off nad stuff it up under the dash and the smoke goes away, my jacket made the sparks stop, so i do some investigation and my ignition wires are fried to **** cause the guy who wired the ignition used to small of a guage o well, easy fix. so i call the tow company and they bring over a non flat bed truck, car is too low, had to get a flat bed, 2 hours later, flat bed comes, makes me sign a waver cause the car is "altered" and they dont take responsibility for altered cars and starts to pull the cabby up the flat bed, as soon as the front wheels were about to hit the flat bed the bumper does, there goes my lip the paint cracked off it, jerkoff still pulls the car up and the bumper cracks o well. nothing i can do about it, cause my car was altered and i signed the waver. So bummed out as can be i come home, and see a huge box in front of my door, now i was expectiong 2 shippments, one from Nimbus20v and one from VW, i walk up and its from Nimbus20v

lets see what it is...

what is it?

Ohhh its a trunk, but why do i need a new trunk?

Ohhh its a fully shaved trunk...

Not only did he do an amzing job shaveing the plate recess, keyhole and reflector, he also filled the gaps in alot of time was spent on this, and it shows.

inside where the reflector once layed

so, if the key hole is shaved, how does it open you ask? Well it has a electric MK3 trunk release mounted and ready to wire

thats it for now, off to paint.

sorry to hear about your front bumper? Isn't that the second time? Ask them boneheads to put it on backwards next time.

Are you going with white, or are you changing the whole car blue? That trunk is awesome!!!

yep second time this has happened, the car sits really low, i drive it everysingle day on NJ roads like 3 inches off the ground the only way to get it on the back of a flat bed is with 2x4's under the front wheels and the plate still hits
and yes, the trunk will be getting sprayed in the L90E

I'm really interested in seeing how that trunk will turn out.....sometimes the fully shaved look is ugly when you shave huge stuff like the license plate recess.....but we'll judge it when you put it on

yeah ive seen some cars and it looks downright hideous, then ive seen some cars where they kinda pull it off, but since everything on my car, besides the door handles and front bumper are shaved, i think it will flow nicely.

Mark that trunklid looks sweet. Definitely pimpin' with the MK3 trunk release. Post some pics when you install it. I'm interested to see how it will look. As you said some cars can pull off the shaved look and some can't. I think I've seen a few Cabby's with shaved trunklids before and they look pretty good.

Sorry to hear about your electrical and tow truck problems. I've had to deal with the smoking dash fiasco before in my Corrado. Definitely not for the faint of heart. There's about 2 minutes of sheer panic as thoughts flash through your head of your car going up in flames!

Sounds like you just got a lazy tow truck driver. They know whether they have to use the 2x4's by just looking at the car. He probably didn't have anything on the truck to put under the front tires. That expains him having you sign the waiver beforehand.

I've been following along with your build-up. The Cabby is looking good. I look forward to seeing the finished product in the spring!

Thanks man for the good comments, see you in spring!

I don't want to sound obnoxious or anything... but maybe you should get a couple of 2x6 boards and keep them in the trunk for when you need a tow.. . one 2.5' piece w/ a 45 angle on one end will help avoid the bumper rash. Sometimes if the driver is any good, and has experience with lowered cars or exotics they bring their own boards.

well the drivers in NJ are a bunch of rednecks so they never come prepared for an altered car, and for keeping wood in my car...not a bad idea...
