will this cost alot to fix?
Heres the story, this was about 2 weeks ago:it was raining hard and i was driving home. I was going about 55 on the highway and i was almost home. I went to pass a truck that was going super slow and at that moment i lost control of my car. my car hydroplained really bad . the car went off the road and i ran into a wodden sign(totally knocked it down). after that i was a bit shaken up , wondering wtf happend?! anywho, i get home safely and check out the car. i thought it was worse but, it seems like my bumper got pushed in a little bit. the driverside headlight works but, wont go down all the way because of the pushed in bumper. i open the hood and it looks like my radiator support is bent(correct me if im wrong in the pics). another broken part was my rear wing. i dont know how the hell that split but it did :angry: . anyway, to get to the point , i was wondering how much it might cost to repair my car?? i.e. fix the alignment,front end(was going to put on an aero kit anyway), take off the wing and fill in the holes, etc etc. here are the pics:

You could actually straighten that damage out with a hammer, a come-along, and a slew of cusswords.
That'll take a chunk out of the price if they don't have to rack it.

The largest parts of that job that will drive the cost up is:
Teardown of the front end for pulling
Pulling the front end
Welding the holes where the spoiler was.
One thing you're *kinda* dead in the water on is the design of the 1/4's. Since there are no lines to divide the paint, the shop must paint both 1/4 panels with two blends at the roof (if they don't put down to paint the whole roof)
But you'll save some bucks if you get it (straight wise) to aoint where you're happy, and weld up the holes in the rear.
