Ouch. I feel you man. At least it's just a door panel that could be easily replaced or fixed. Rear fenders are the really bad ones coz they don't usually replace those fender panels. Careful next time.

I did not see pic # 2 when I replied earlier. Actually no pic #2 at that time. That looks pretty bad. Any damage to your wheel? Is that a crack on your headlight assembly?

Oooh tear in the sheetmetal. That definitely calls for a new right rear door skin. Also, a new front bumper cover replacement and blending of the right quarter and right front door. The most important part is that no one was hurt. The car is easily fixed.

WOW. i mean WOW. sorry man. does your sunroof rattle now? i'm convinced that the freeway doesn't want us to go fast in this car, i've hit a rubber 4x4 on my front right and bent my rim. not as bad as this for sure. have a healthy recovery.

Geez, I know it's open season on 2IS', but that's too much.

It looks like your front got hit by a cannonball.

And your door looks like it got hit by an armor piercing round or something.

My accident is like a needle ***** to a knife wound, compared to yours.

But you should be glad that no one was hurt.

A bumper and door are replaceable, but a life isn't.

Oh my!! Sorry for your misfortune. Looking at those pics, want to cry and laugh...a darn street sign in the road! At least you didn't get a tire blow out and loose control. Now, perhaps if you had a clear bra, the damage may not have been that bad! JK!!! I'm sure you'll have it repaired in no time and it will be like new again. Good luck....

I do not think the headlight is craked...I got a message from the body shop and it was not as much as I thought it may be they said only $4,300 so that is not bad, they said I should have it by the end of next week. I was the only one in the car...So I am happy about that...oh and for clarification I was not on the freeway...it was a local road that no one was on but me...I thought I missed my turn and looked back to see the street sign...then looked up and saw two metal legs up in the air...the rest you see.

$4,300.... that hurts. I'm not surprised at the costs however.
