f*** my life. Damn the snow. Can anyone chime in with their 2 cents? It looks replaceable, but I've never had to deal with body damage, so my opinion is moot. Would like to fix this before rust shows up

Don't worry my car came back from worce.
Just some new parts, paint and maybe bending things back into place and you should be good.
My radiator and A.C. wer pushed into the exhaust manifold.
I had it fixed under my carport 72 hours later thanks to overnight shipping and lots of hard work.
Drive safe out there.
 
that is not bad at all, it looks like a bumper cover and a fender and plastic turn signal assy, these parts are usually readily available at junk yards, Idk if they still sell them at autobody supply shops but its east enough to find out. Have a good one man and keep your head up, it will be fixable.
 
Its like a blizzard here in KS so I could see that really :) :cry:
 
Rattle can any chipped paint and zip tie stich the bumper to buy time. Parts to fix that are easy to find.
 
No biggie dude, fix the body panels and get some damn snow tires. Go for General Altimax Arctic's they are an extremely cost effective tire that is amazing in bad weather and great cheater tires for launching with overall good driveability. Oh, and they can easily last 60,000-70,000 miles of continuous usage (if you aren't a launching fool all the time).
 
Fender may be fixable but might not be worth the effort if a replacement is cheap enough. You may have to fiddle with the popup headlight alignment a little as well. Years ago I did i 180 uphill on a 2 lane in the snow to avoid a 6' dropoff and just skimmed a guard rail. No body damage but busted the corner light. My popup light rubbed slightly when going up and down after that. Good luck. Shouldn't be too bad.
 
Yeah it's not that bad man. Fender either fix it or get a new one. One thing that looks odd is the bumper shock absorber, it looks like it's pulled out pretty good. I wouldn't replace the front bumper, Valvoline has some really good two part epoxy that I world fix it with.
