Exclamation HELP: Small accident. Need advice.

I avoided hitting an SUV that ran a stop sign and ran aground on a center divider. I hit it at about 10 to 15mph and went up on top of it. I got it back home and put it up to take a look at the damage. I know for certain the plastic "****" that connects to the radiator mount, on the passenger side, was cracked open around the base. The right radiator mount was also ripped off. The car drives straight and there were no other issues I could find on the drive over to the dealership.

How much other damage could there be and how much might it be to fix it?

All I can think of is to check the brake lines, my brother drove is 240SX over a curb one time going about 25 and one of the brake lines came undone, I cannot remember exactly what, but he ran into a building because he couldn't stop the car after hitting the curb. He was being an idiot...

Did the cops cite you for violating the "basic rule" in Oregon?

Oil coolers, undercarriage, leaky shock, Rims, then you will need a new balance and alignment.

brake lines...... oil pan seal.. you may want to look into gettign the autoxe underbrace b/c you may have soem structural weakening. that will solve it. wheel allighnment / ballence. and you can get an upgraded cooling plate / radiator cheeper than the stock. there may be a small crack int eh rad core that will apear later on as a big problem. save the money and just replace it now. labor and towign is more expensive than the parts.
