got my estimate from insurance today, and it was about $3700 with labor and all. the guy who came out said from the looks of what ive already done to the car myself i could easily tackle the job myself. so with the money i save i goin to get all new wheels . i still want to keep them black but not sure what i want just yet. throw out some ideas guys!

hey ya.. the work isnt hard.. if you just damaged the lower control arms and some connectors.. but if the sway bar is bent, make sure to replace it.. the only hard part is getting everything back aligned. so you might have to spend a few dollars on that..(i think i broke all the exact same things you did, but it cost me alot and it was out of pocket and i didnt replace my sway bar cuz they would have charged me another 600 to do that because it takes a few hours to swap)

fix her good man, if you need help the tech forums have alot been pretty good.

but anyways. take some good pictures going into fixxing it, and when your finished, just incase your not sure where everything goes! (get it fixxed soon, so i can meet up with you)

yeah i was actually looking at those!

i think i may go with a 5 spoke, gloss black with a red lipped stripe maybe some rotas or something. i have people argue with me that the red would look horrible with yellow, but ive seen it done i like it

soooooo i was up and around early this morning around 5:30 sitting in our office and i herd some weird noises out side. at first it was just a weird cracking noise, but i just figured it was the squirrels in the attic or something. but i kept hearing it. so i got closer to the window and could hear someone walking up our back sidewalk and to our drive way where my car is sitting outside. so i ran down the hall to a window above our driveway and saw someone crouched by my car.. then i realized what the other noise was...... the f^cker was tagging my car!!!!!!!! so i threw some shoes on grabbed an old bb gun pistol (not sure why...) and went out the back door to come up behind him he guess he herd me and took off to my wooded back yard.... i took after them but he already had a good 100ft lead on me.. i ended up eating it in the creek and they took off through the woods.

no clue who it would have been, but they sure as hell knew my yard... i live on a little less then 2 achers and most of it is a hilly wooded backyard. and they seemed to know there way around it even in the dark, jumping over a 5ft wide creek.. i spent tones of time playing paintball and stuff back there with friends when i was younger so it had to be someone i know pretty well... but the thing is i dont know why anyone would be tryin to **** me off or get me back for something or anything like that..

just called the cops to file a report, hes still not here yet, but i actually found the paint they used.. it was my paint.... grey primer the i used on my engine bay stuff. i guess i either left it under the back deck or on the driveway, dont remember..

ill get picks up when its light... but from the looks of it, its all over my mirrors and windows and pretty much all over.........

the worst part is, im gettin it towed later this week to a shop to get the accident stuff fixed... and now this.....

What the hell?! That's just crazy! Everyone is suspect now. If they actually walked into your 2 acres, found your paint that was at least half put up, and was bold enough to run through some woods to get away gotta be some one close. That just doesn't add up to some stranger.
