Taking the car tomorrow to get an estimate, will probably leave it at the shop till it's done (get to drive the Subby :mrgreen: ). Depending on what they say/what the cost is will depend on what action I take. If all goes according to plan it will end up like this:

- Series 5 front bumper
- Series 5 rear bumper
- Series 5 tail light
- Origin or B-Magic D1 Style (AIT Racing) wide front fenders (20 or 25mm)
and maybe, 30mm Rear Over-fenders. Either Origin or B-Magic.

Probably is just going to be the front fenders, the rear would need to be pulled out and repaired anyway if I wanted to add the over fenders.

Any other options I should consider?

ouch...

live and learn... dont do that next time...

 

No kidding.

 

****'ll buff out

^ that comment must be in every damaged car thread.

Seriously though I got an S4 fender and rear wides that we can meet up and trade

 

Truth.

I'm gonna see what the shop says tomorrow, it'll all be up on DriftPA.

 

think of it as a lesson. Sometimes you have to kinda dicipline yourself with self control and not to get too cocky into the turns.. also think of it as a excuse to go widebody and aero. cut out the rear quarter panels, get wide front fenders and rears. cheap knock off aero[bn, uras,gp] get wheel spacers from ichiba, or tc sport line, m2 tunning on ebay and your set.. This is what I did after I hit a guard rail 4 wheel locking up into a turn at 80mph 3 years ago.

 

if your going to aero out your car , you dont really need to pay a body shop to do it, its easy to install. Plus most aero come in white.

Is your alignment straight? or is any suspension damaged? if not your super very lucky.. cosmetic damage is easy to replace..

 

i personally had the ait b magic kit before when my car was white with the same wheels u have I think... ill look for the pic so itl give u an idea..

 

 

 

dk you fail! you know people dont like to mod their cars... jk


hope you get things worked out kinch, you can possibly get the estimate done, and have the insurance send you the check instead of the shop, so than you can do whatever you want, do the repairs yourself etc. like DK said its not too hard, alot of internet reading on bodywork and you would be ok.

 

K!NCH DO IT! cause now it gives you an excuse to buy my fenders!!

 

50mm is so wide tho! How much for the S4?

 

GOD DAMNIT K!NCH QUIT COPYING ME! just be glad you didnt get hurt, your car is still drivable, you didnt get a ticket or (im guessing?) it didnt go on your record.

 

Hahaha, my 88 GTU opposite. No ticket (was like 1AM), and yeah I got really lucky. Not getting the insurance company involved.

 

What size/model are your rears?

 

sorry to hear that bro good to hear you are ok

 

Thanks man. Thanks go out to everyone actually, been really supportive.

 

damn kinch...

ouch man... at least you aright.

 

Yeah, you better not follow my lead and do that to your vert. I love clean S5s with aftermarket front lips.

 

i don't the neither the origin or the bmagic. forsight fenders are a way to go. but thats jus me

 

Oh i agree, they're just super expensive.

 

i hear ya man... make sure you get this thing back up to par, hey just another excuse to get new stuff!

 

Took it to the shop today, they're swamped so it's going to be about 2 weeks. S5 bumpers are being put on, the rear quarter is just getting pulled out and fixed and all I need is a driver side fender. If anyone has one for sale, send me a message..

 

Isn't it funny how a little wreck can make the car looking better than ever with new paint and aero parts
