    Any word on your car's destiny? Will it be sold in pieces or rise again to dominate the sreets?

    Well the strut is bent but the other pieces don't seem to be, I don't think. That's at least what I was told.

    The red circled areas are the problem areas but I was told they would cut and weld new pieces.

    Well I was on the phone with the collision center and she got out "well I ordered all your parts and they are all brand new ..." then my phone dropped the call. So I don't know if they are OEM or not ??? Called back immediately and the receptionist said that the women I was on the phone with was in a meeting, so I wait yet again for the phone call.

    Parts are all OEM, the only thing that will not match is the headlight but that is a simple fix. As far as the suspension piece's go the strut, all tie rods, knuckle and one other piece (I am awaiting the repair ticket via email) were all done for.

    Good luck with the repairs, I know what its like when you look and miss something, I'm glad you stopped in time, much farther and it would have hurt even more.


    (P.S. If you need a VF39 and a STI top mount intercooler let me know)

    Bump for an update!

    The parts are on the truck and have been confirmed all OEM parts!!! The car should be ready to rock later next week. Anyone wanna have a head light bake party? I feel really bad doing it to a brand new headlight :( but it has to be done.

    I used a heat gun on my WRX lights it was easier to do than the baking method, it's easier to handle the light because the whole thing is not hot. I kinda like the the cleared out chrome light look better than painted personally. I've been thinking of finding some chrome bezels and changing them out on my car.

    It was dropped off the 14th they had a rough estimate and it ripped apart half way by 11am the 16th. As of today the fender is not painted or on, the suspension is done. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone but I am glad I didn't rent a car I'd be really in debt at this point.
