well you wont have anymore tire room then you have now if you dont plan on going wide if your lookin just for a replica front and rear bumper just do that with PF side skirts. If you go that route you prob wont have to pay anything out of pocket. If you go widebody like venom has said yours looking at 7-10K. None of us can tell you what to do its your car your taste. I will say when i first saw what happend to your car i said to myself why not me! lol id kill to get a wide body kit for almost free!

FINALLY got it back last friday the 30th...9 weeks after the accident...did NOT do the 1m conversion, didnt want to be a faker.

grand total was $18,250 per the body shop...still waiting for my wheels to be made...

for those who were "jealous", its not worth it...save yourself the heartache

You did the right thing, IMHO. Once you decide to take over responsibility for the process, you give the insurance company an "out", if more damage is found, or if things go wrong with the repair. In the end, you're better off just letting them do it, so they're responsible for the finished product.

Glad you have your baby back.
