My local junkyard that is pretty much all gmt400s gave me a call about a push bar for $20. I was desperate for something on the front of my truck. I didn't think i was gonna get exactly what I wanted. But, I did.

I was pretty much in a rut at this point having no time to do anything.
I took a trip to texas roadhouse for a meal. Well the day went from bad to worse.

I was going 55+ down a hill when a lowes truck pulled into a tight driveway. Well i found out how bad my brakes sucked that day.
Truck was on top of the BMW the whole way to the top of the back window. I drove home though Chevy 1-BMW 0.
My insurance company was kind enough to hand me a check for 3000 to fix $300 worth of damage to my vehicle. So i went spending happy.

Well after the accident I didnt wanna go back to stock I really would have liked a nice billet grill but I couldn't find any that I could settle on.. I have a few ideas to make the grill look a little better down the road. But thanks guys I really appreciate the positive feedback!

When I put that pushbar on I didnt think it would do a whole lot being mounted to the bumper but after that accident I took those words back
