I would say that it need to go on a frame machine with that side damage on the front and it wont suprise me if they total it.

Good luck with your repairs.
Off topic: Codgi, the vid is old. Seen it awhile back. I'm sure Pruven is probably didn't get to that guy's car yet. It looks like work is in progress but the guy is impatience so he made the vid to make him happy. I don't know.

Anyway back to the topic. From the pic, it looks like the rear quarter didn't get damage. I would just buy the parts and put them back together myself and save your good driving record. But you already went to them so I suppose follow through with insurance. Hope your insurance won't go up bro. GL

Dude, go through your insurance company, it'll get fixed faster and they will cover everything...and even if your insurance goes up, its not gonna go up nearly enough for you to risk driving around in a car with shoddy repairs.

and why would you go to a performance shop to get body repairs? go to a place that specializes in collision repair, they are more likely to do a much better job.

i had a similar experience with a fire hydrant a couple years ago. I took the money from the insurance and fixed it myself in the garage. This is a perfect opportunity to get some sweet upgrades out of this tragic event. i think some jdm headlights would look really nice on your car and you can get them cheaper than new stock ones. I used http://www.jnztuning.net/shop/catalog/ to get the majority of my replacement parts and for a pretty good price for being new. also they have very quick shipping. good luck with your rebuild and sorry for your loss. i know how much it sucks.

let your insurance company handle it. your appraisel looks like it could be anywhere from

10k and up. if you have frame damage its most likely totaled... not sure what you hit but if no other vehicles are involved, claim it as a comprehensive claim so your rates dont go up. gl

On top of all the body damage, there could possibly be some suspension work to be done. Nevertheless, it's not going to be cheap.

yeah, its going through insurance. I wasn't going to pay out of pocket. too much damage. Hit a guardrail, that's all.

Got towed to a collision shop today. I talked with one of the guys there and we are working out if an evo 9 front and jdm rear would work into the repairs.
