Get it fix back to stock, then trade it in for a IX. That car is gonna fall apart if you drive it on rough road. Or just tell them to call it total and give you your money so you can upgrade. Aint nothing better than a brand new evo, it dont matter how good they fix it junk is junk.

To me it doesn't really look that bad, but then again there always can be other damage that you can't see. Guess you will just have to wait and see what the body shop says. Good luck either way.
