Default Did i total my F?

Can any of you smart guys see anything wrong ? the engine, side pieces dont fit around correctly anymore, hopefully it's just the fender misaligned. i have no damage on the body besides the corner of the bottom front bumper on the very side. but as you can see by the wheels, i must of hit it super hard. what are some things mechanically can be wrong? the car starts and runs the same, no weird sound. looking at the front axle, is that bent or something? it looks squished but the wheel is turned straight forward.

im guessing i will drop it off to the lexus dealer as well. i hope my steering rack is ok. there is no damage to the body at all besides a bit of the lower front bumper, kinda makes me feel better and hohpefully its not too serious.

Noooooooo!

Volk"s :'(

I hope that's just fender alignment.

The good news is..... no one slipped you the roofie in the "Blue Oyster" bar.

.....things can always be fixed and replaced.

true. it has to be only fender alignment, but i need reassurance. im sure lexus will still be me about 8k worth of damaged parts that i can't see like steering rack and crap like that. Hope i meet an honest mechanic.

Dang that looks crazy and like you said, judging by your wheels, you hit something really bad, really hard. GL with the repairs bro, hope you get your F back on the road soon.

I've bent Volk wheels way worse than that (RE30's) and never had any issues with the chassis.. surprised you suspected the frame being damaged. GL though.

i'll take the shot of the bumper, i hit my front wheel and semi part of bottom bumper, steered right hard and whipped the rear wheel as well but really not bent.

yeah that's what friends said who saw it, pics made it look worse. best repair place said its easily fixable since there are no cracks, volk is a strong wheel but it will take a strong machine to pull it back into shape. thanks Pat

take cover off
have a look at the shock tower area
if you see any marks that the arms have hit the shock towers then you need a new shock tower panel
having coilovers does not help in this case
