one of the radiator fans got pushed back too, it's now rubbing against one of my intercooler hoses. makes a damn aweful noise.

can't wait to get this thing fixed.

Sorry to hear about your car....I was just out today in about 2 inches of snow..and ice, and the car performed fantastic.

I just bought four new Hankook W300 tires from www.tires.com (Discount tires). They are like cheap blizzaks. They are working great.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about this. Might as well do some upgrading on the intercooler while your fixing it. Well try and have a nice turkey day! you should also tell them you had hid's in the headlights when they replace them

i am thinking of taking it to this body shop down the street from me (liotus and winter).

but i don't know if there is any mechanical damage. obviously the intercooler has a nice dent, and my radiator has some dents in the back side from hitting my exhaust heat shield. but it doesn't look like anything got punctured or is broken beyond being usable (i hope).

so i am not sure if i will just take it to the body shop, or have it towed back to biondi to have them look over the mechanics as well. guess i will find out when i call my insurance company tommorow.

at least i can take solace in the fact that i am certainly not the first, and definately won't be the last, to wreck an evo in low traction conditions.
