it should be mandatory to pull the ABS fuse out of those cars...little wrx got smashed like the little bug that it is.

 

where you racing this said sti ?

 

Here is what is underneath the bumper cover....looks like you will probably need some sheet metal work as well.

 

JDM Rear Yo!!! Oh wait...sorry to hear man, never want to see a bluevo down!

 

Nope, I don't race

I hope it's not too much, if any. I don't want to have to deal with frame damage.

That's kind of what I'm hoping. I just want to find a nice aftermarket exhaust that is about the same or cheaper than OEM.

I think that's asking too much

Thanks for the best wishes, guys. I'll come back and update for sure once I get word from the insurance company. I sure hope everything turns out ok. I'm not going to get stupid with the insurance trying to get aftermarket parts. If I can, fine, if not I just want my car fixed.

 

I was also rear ended a couple months, ago, and had the diffuser and the entire back bumper pieces replaced. Just for labor and replacement, repainting, sanding, and labor of those two pieces, the tab came out to around $1600. You're probably looking at around $2500 worth of damages for OEM diffuser, back bumper, and exhaust.

 

hope all goes well for you hm was he a friend ? or just driving to close to your rear end admiring the new 10 lol sorry i had to ..

 

Lol, I met him that night after he hit me.

After talking to the adjuster and the shop it seems it won't be too much of a headache. The insurance is going to be writing me a check to pay the shop. Apparently as long as I don't stray too far from the parts that they quoted, I can pretty much do what I want and paying the difference is an option. I could do a JDM rear if I wanted, technically, but no.

Oh, they also found a little frame damage it looks minor but nothing is for sure until the bumper cover can be removed.

Any suggestions for a nice aftermarket exhaust muffler section between the $350-$400 range? or up to 500?

It's funny because I went by the shop where his Sti is and was introduced as "They guy he hit." Everyone loved the Evo at the shop, too.

 

JDM rear looks exactly the same as the USDM rear.
