just got in a car accident

today went to a friend house for a birthday party after left his house got in a car accident..i didn't see it wasn't a straight line..when i relized that there was a turn then I know I am in deep ****...i ran over the curb and hit a tree maybe it was raining and the road was wet. it was about 65-75mph in the middle of 3rd gear..i did brake but the car kept sliding until it hit a tree.luckily i didn't hit anyone or any cars.. I bent the wheels,,broke the right fender and headlight,busted oil pan and when I tried to push the car back to the house the rear wheels didn't spin..I think the back wheels got locked or something..maybe my FMIC is also got fcked up

I wonder how much for it to be fixxed? oh yeah I want to upgrade front bumper to evo 9 also so now it's the time but what about the alignment and suspension and stuffs? how hard are they...this is going to be a pain in the a$$.

how much for?
right headlight,
front 9 bumper,,grills, suchs,
right fender,
oil pain,
suspension? alightment? anything else that needs to be considered?
wheels,
what else do you think I should be re-considerred before to have the car on the road again..maybe it will be a long time. winter is coming so i might store the car in the garage. then start from that on..

Sucks you got into an accident but I would think insurance would cover all that for you. And most body shops are willing to work with you where you could supply the aftermarket parts with the insurance check they get.

Good luck man.

lets see some pics...would be a nice background on my desktop

But that totally sucks if you just got an 05. sounds like its totalled. Airbags deploy?
If they did I'd really like to see some pics of the interior with both air bags out.

right headlight, $500$?
front 9 bumper,,grills, suchs, $600+?
right fender, $300?
oil pain,......
suspension? alightment? anything else that needs to be considered?
wheels, $2000+?

$3500+ labor all a guess tho..

I feel your pain and loss. A week ago Saturday I too was in an accident. In fact, just yesterday I received word that the car is a total loss Didn't even have the car a year -- all I can tell you is, that list you have up above is going to cost ALOT. Inital estimates on my car was 18,700 just by visual confirmation. You may want to consider insurance...

At least your OK, I would make this into an insurance claim, it will not be cheap.
