did you call the honda body shop number i gave you? i know for a fact that they have done several wrx/sti's... so at least it won't be foreign to them... but what do i know.. i'm no bodyshop guy. either way your insurance is covering everything right?

true. but will they be able to fix the tie rod, swaybar, and endlinks? i just called them and they said if they can't do the work the will outsource it to the dealer so should i just bring it straight to kieth and then have the body work done somewhere else? i mean if it's gonna get towed i might as well have it towed to the place to get the mechanical work done, then drive it in to get the body work done right? idk, thanx for any help.

yea kuroda is good. we had some work one at the one in pearlcity b4. they do a good job. well the insurance isn't going to just cut me a check so i guess no aftermarket parts. unless someone wants to sell me front swaybar and endlinks for cheap. there is a shop down the road from my house that can do the work so i guess it's going there but they said they are backlogged a few weeks. idk.

Coming from someone who wrecked an '05...I would go to Schuman in town to the body shop. Talk to Wayne. He is pretty cool and will make your car new again. Anyone who seen before/after of my car could tell you.

k well thanx guys. my car is getting fixed at island fender. said it would take a few weeks. they are going to replace the fender, paint and blend the sideskirt, bumper, fender, hood, and door. also they will be replacing the tie rod end unless the whole thing is shot. i think the swaybar and endlinks need to be replaced but they don't seem to think so. they are going to do the tie rod fist and get it aligned to see if that fixes the sway. hopefully i'll be up and running b4 x-mas when my bro is comming down again. thanx for all the advise guys.

well she's going to the suspencion shop tomorow and they already have the parts which is amazing. if it's just the tie rod end then it will be done in a few days. they are going to try to squeeze me in and get the rest done so best case i will have her back in 2 weeks, if not then definately by x-mas.
