Ooof. Good luck. Glad you seem fine. Could have been a lot worse, but it still sucks.

+1 for new diffuser and maybe new exhaust, depending on how insurance handles it.

Glad to hear the car is busted more than you.

Over the damage, or were you thinking of doing it anyway? If its over this cosmetic damage I'd reconsider. I'd probably do the same thing, but thats stress thinking. ALL cosmetic damage it looks like, which means your car has the potential to be nicer after the repairs than it was before.

Just my 2˘

i don't know it is now the car is damaged goods you know? Any little squeak or rattle and I will be thinking of the accident.

I know that the repair will look good and all but i will always have that thought niggling in the back of my head, just the way I am wired.

Of course from a financial point it would make more sense to just keep the car and drive it into the ground

oh also found out from the adjuster that the side quarter panel is buckled from the impact…..so he thinks there will be more damage once the panels come off

Yeah I am happy I walked away from it. This is twice now though in 8 years I have been in two fairly high speed accidents……i feel like my luck will run out at some point.

I'm the same way, but for once I'm the reasonable outside opinion telling you to keep it

But hey....if you really sell it just buy a carbon diffuser with the money. I'll give you my mint stock + cash lol. But I still think you should keep it.
