Actually they totaled it out because of the wood steering wheel. It cracked when the guy hit me. The age and pressure of me gripping it and impact caused the wood to split on the sides. The cost of the body damage and repaint was only coming out to around 2k but the steering wheel was almost $1500 on it's own.

I bought it back so now it's a salvage title but who cares. It just turned over 100k miles so it's ripe for a GTE swap! Hell I can get a rear bar and cover from a local junk hard for a couple hundred and paint would be the same. I could live with or attempt to pop out the dents over the wheel with one of those paint less kits and I'll be good to go.

Yeah my car is getting there but I've done almost no aesthetic mods. I just have wheels and the Braga type 3 smoked tails. I have a Toms wing like the sport design wing and rear window spoiler to put on though. Just gotta get everything painted. I've been focusing my attention on performance mods.
