Full blown Karen
A 1 minute email -“hey icbc I’m not happy with this repair”
Omg! 
Btw, people thinking this is me looking for a “handout” my car now has 14k in claims on it, all of which were not my fault which happened while the car was parked. So me looking for a “handout” in a $1500 headlight doesn’t even make a dent in the net value/my personal net worth decrease I’ve seen through insurance claims and bozos hitting my car.
I don’t even care about that however, I only care about the appearance because it bugs my OCD seeing one brand new headlight, and one clouded/yellow one.

Wow~ Didn't know you have an NC! Brings back memories!
The NC bumper isn't super difficult to remove. Of course it'll still take time, but none of the work is aggravating like they are when you try to work on Euro cars lol~  | |

Didn't happen, I still drive my cars like a FWD and my lines are funny. The M3 makes up the deficient though.
My NC was a bit of a freak because for something with just a tune, it was faster than Mitch's FBO in a straight line. Quote:

It was mostly just a lot of fasteners and screws, but 4 of them are DEEP behind the bumper and having to reach in from the wheel well was not fun. Quote:

I used a paper towel to rub it on and just let it dry and applied a second and third coat. I don't have the car anymore but my friend bought it. He said the headlights are still good after all these years. The refinish was done back in 2017.
Looking back I actually didn't polish. I just finished with 2500 grit and let the urethane fill in the remaining fine sanding marks.

Looks better with the bumper off than that stupid ass smiley face. That’s the only thing I hate on the nc1. Nc2 looks much better and has that crazy high redline too

The NC3 has the nicest looking front end for the generation.

NC3 are really rare cause NC ran for 10 model years and NC3 was only around for 2, and when it came around most ppl that wanted an NC already got one.

e36 insurance reup - down over 100 bucks from last year. ($1220 all in)
driver factor improved slightly - i guess just time. It doesn't tell me what the low mileage discount actually is - but it's on there.
Annual debate about getting collector plates. I'd have to pull some of the parts that I really enjoy about the car, so for now it stays as is.

They're pretty loosey goosey with what they approve these days, worth a shot with what you got on there unless it's a stereo?

Has anyone just vinyl wrapped their headlights after? Shouldn't that offer more protection cuz it's no longer exposed to the elements + air and the film should block uv?

Jesus Christ I got ass fucked on my new car's premiums by ICBC. Went from an equivalent in cost vehicle to my prior, $500 annual increase in premiums on a 2024 Mazda 3 Turbo AWD.
Apparently this is all a result of their premium renewal increases this year? Seriously?

ICBC says all eligible commercial and personal policyholders who had an active policy in February of this year will receive the rebate. Eligible policyholders do not need to apply for the rebate.
Additionally, basic rates will be maintained until March 31, 2026

I hope that's per policy. I'm sure a lot of us have multiple vehicles insured.

I just reinsured the daily ('06 350z) last night, no chances to the policy, location or driver and it was $26 more, so I guess it's an $85 rebate for me.

It's still more expensive, only the base rate is the same, so unless you buy 0 coverage it's still more expensive and finance rate is like 10% now

tbh we still have cheap insurance.
I paid double when I moved to Ontario under their private insurance & I'm uninsurable in Alberta (no comp / collision for me because of a cell phone ticket)
Living elsewhere's made me v appreciative of ICBC
