Cost of air bags headlights, bumper, fender, windshield, hood, grill and some rear end body paint worthwhile strut tower looks undamaged.
Worthwhile project what do your think?

 

Probably would get more feed back if this was on the RC-F side of the forums

 

I agree - Moderators will likely move this one.

That being said, how much are they asking? Personally, i would never feel comfortable rebuilding a car that was totaled....But I am not a risk taker at all.

 

Looks like quite a bit of front end damage. Front fenders are not cheap on the RCF as they wrap all the way down to the rear wheels as the side skirt...

I think airbags are going to be the majority of the cost, being that the car functions mechanically sound. Would be a fun build if you went all aftermarket parts, like CF Hood, full body kit, etc. Mo money mo problems!

 

Alex Rebuilds on Youtube/Instagram rebuilt a front end damaged RCF awhile back. I believe there was more damage than this and the series seemed fairly easy and straight forward. I believe he does a cost breakdown after he is done so it could give you an idea of what your costs would be.

 

I recall watching this. It was a great video. Now that the two are being compared, I think youre right, IF there is no steering component, suspension, or driveline damage. You never know. But it absolutely looks like an easier repair than Alex Rebuild's.

 

There is another by rebuilder guy showing the airbag replacement needing new roof liner.

Looking and monitoring past pricing of damaged RC F usually bids go anywhere in low 20's. Seeing this is 2016 carbon roof moon roof delete which i'm not interested in. Only RC-F in my neighbourhood for long time thought to give it at least a look. Cost of fixing door panel rear bumper paint fender all on passenger side, plus hood, front headlights both sides. From my experience often headlight looks undamaged on the other side but the clips break holding it secure needing entire front end. Add coolant leaks or oil cooler front end. Air bags cost could exceed the value of $48,0000 in my location. Buy it for 23, 000 add six air bags $9, 000 windshield $1200, fender $400, hood carbon fiber $2500, bumper $500, new 2020 headlights with daytime running lights included $2500 x 2 $5000, grill pieces $1500 .
Approximately $19, 000 parts not included painting or other problems that come up. car puts me in $43, 000 mark and still unsure if everything is covered,
Reason this damaged car is still waiting to be sold at auction.
