You might be able to bang out the aluminum, but imagine how it would look! Imagine smashing a soda can, then trying to smooth it back out...

Also look how intricate the leading edge channel is in this diagram (figure A). Just let them snip the entire roof and put a new one in.

His roof isn't aluminum. Only the MR's (05-06) RS (04-06), and SE's (06)do. You can tell if you look at the edges of the roof, the aluminum curves up a bit on the sides.

Same exact thing happened to my mom's car except the impact area is different. The basketball hoop fell onto middle of the car's hood.

Sorry about this bro, stuff like this just happens. Just about 2 weeks ago, all 4 wheels locked up on me on the highway, going about 65mph. Turns out it was a lubrication issue, this was right after I had the clutch replaced too.

The point is crap happens and there is no turning back, it's just how you solve the issue from this point on.

Good luck.

Agreed. But not the last part... Because... it's not real easy to drain cement from a basketball hoop stand last I checked. Do they make some sort of cement disolver?

Since we're sharing, I got battering rammed by the tow hitch of a giant *** truck yesterday while stopped at a light. Idiot backed into me. Thrashed by passenger side door and part of the front quarter panel got bent from the door pulling it so much.

Point is: wasn't God or Karma.

I'd say +1, but that should be easy to fix.

Oh yeah, and I forgot to quote it... but whoever said the windshield could only be gotten from Mitsu for a million dollars... You can get an aftermarket (meaning from a window replacement place) one for a Lancer and it will fit just fine, be more resistant to chips and cracks, cost a whole hell of a lot less, and... weigh a teenie bit more.

I may be wrong, but aren't those asphault rock chips on the roof? Looks like the goal may have fallen in the past.
