Wrecked

Took a turn too quickly at 45ish and backend came out, hit guard rail, basically any guesstimate on the damage?

That rear bit looks like it could just buff out

Front fender, front bumper, and the side marker would run you a total of 600-700 or so if you got them new

I had an accident with just that front damage and the wheel was trashed -- took me about 5 days to get my car back.

Damn you hit it in a bad spot... you better hope the brackets and stuff behind the headlights aren't busted or you will have to replace the whole thing... and they are like 800 a pop.

Assuming you didn't bust your headlight... front bumper and fender look repairable but they will need a full repaint... so expect about 900+ there...

can't see how deep the rear damage is but if they have to repaint it they have to repaint the whole panel.

I would guess a little over a grand for repairs assuming they can buff the rear damage out.

Btw.. you said your rear end came out? Why does the front have most of the damage?

Rear end hit, rear end go back the other way, slide on the front/side.

He was probably trying to drift it, TCS off, ehh.
