then .. disaster struck .

i made a ride turn at a light , there was a Honda CR-V exiting the shopping center i had seen her however i knew she had to stop because i had the right of way .. i was going about 30MPH since i had just made a right turn about 60 meters from the exit of the shopping center .. ( funny but true ) i sneezed and closed my eyes for about 2 seconds .. when i opened my eyes i had the airbag in my face .. i lost conciousness for about a minute when it happened .. my car rolled to a complete stop about half a block away from where i hit the car .. and now i have this ..

( sorry for the bad quality , just happened three hours ago .. will update tomorrow with new pics )

there she is at just 5,800 miles :'(

Dont blame you ... I dont care for the look of them either due to the giant bubble they had to put in them.

Sorry to hear about the car! That really sucks to see. Hope you can get it taken care of quickly. And at least you were not badly injured.

x2 ^

those 08 headlights are ugly as *****... keep it 05-06 style.. thats the best.. sucks man.. best of luck to you

also let me give u a piece of advice...

if your car is not a total loss and they fix it... make sure 100% they use OEM toyota parts all over the car... not that replacement garbage. 1. the fit and finish will be bad. 2. your new fogs will not line up correctly and the OEM front lip will also not fit flush how it should and you will have gaps. tell them by all means they need to provide proof of purchase for OEM parts... i know from experience already the aftermarket replacement parts are garbage in fitment from seeing other friends cars fixed and also my own which is why i went every day and asked for receipts when the front my car was fixed because someone hit me

Yea I hope everything works out fine for you. Im sure they will either fix your tC or get you a new one. As for the projectors..I wasnt a fan of them at first but I must say they are awesome after placing some HIDs in them. You people are just jealous you dont have nipples on your headlights

I have bad allergies and was driving home from a friend's place where there were 2 cats and was sneezing so bad that my eyes were closing for a couple seconds at a time...almost crashed my car, so I know how that can be. Be careful out there Glad you're okay.
