I just got backed into by an uninsured driver this morning so i'll have to deal with all that before I get into more mods. The damage is pretty light on the passenger doors but that stuff adds up quick. I'm guessing $1500-2000 but have get estimates yet. It really blows because I have all these parts, winter tires and wheels that haven't even touched the pavement, just got my windows tinted (chris rules by the way), and got a couple small dents taken out. Now I'm not sure if i'll fix it, if i'll get $ from the other guy, if I'll carry out my stage 2 mod or not. If I get $ and decide to not fix it and pocket that do you think I should continue on with the mods or just hold off until my next wrx in 2+ years (school comes first, then better car
If you could live with the damages and know that it will carry a lower resale value, then keep the money your insurance pays you and use it towards something else. There are certain mods you can buy that can be transferred to your next Subaru (i.e., wheels/tires, short shifter, neonz, nawz) so its not like you're wasting money if you're gonna sell the car in 2 years.
