a Unibody is otherwise know as the SHELL, frame, (whole car)

If you're asking how much it'll cost to get a new unibody, i'd say you should put down any tools you're currently holding, and slowly step away from the car.. This is not a beginner's project.

There is very likely damage that extends beyond the sheet metal...

You CAN cut it off, and replace it, but it's neither cheap, nor easy.. you can try pulling it out, but this requires tools, and know-how to make it look right.

I agree with the other posts.. this is the reason drifting is best done in parking lots, or industrial parks...

pictures of the damage would be nice to judge how bad it really is.

Drifting is SO cool!

lol it's all the kids fault isnt it? just HAD to come out the back road right? I mean you're minding your own business drifting in a public road..

Seriously, learn your lesson, dont be an idiot, you could have killed someone easily without even knowing it.

As for your car, if the damage is really bad, its pretty much done, you'll need LOTS of bodywork. Look on the bright side tho, you didnt kill someone, and you have a body damage you can tell your friends that came from hardcore drifting. (battle damage)

i do feel bad for you tho being you just put so much money into the car such as paint and stuff, but you really shouldnt be drifting it in a public area when you dont know how. Plus it's an automatic, i can already see you have the steering wheel full tilt and steeping on the gas trying to let it spin... thats really not how you drift at all... thats called power over and even then i bet you're doing it wrong..

I hope you fix it, i like how you bought the car wrecked and decided to bring it back, im sure you will, and when you do, dont be stupid again.

if you have no idea what your doing i dont suggest trying it and just take it to a shop.

or just live with it as a lesson to remind you everytime you see your car about what you did and if you smash that side again you dont gotta worry

AS others have said here,, you are lucky that you didnt kill someone with an act of stupidity. Please learn from this and be more responsible.

JDM,,LOL!!!! I absolutely agree with your statements. I was reading what you said and then looked at your sig. Hates people who drift and yet your sig advertises it. Too funny!!! LOL!!!!!

He said he hates people who drift in public areas where people are endangered. His sig was taken on a closed course . If I remember correctly it was a track his friend built on his ranch and there is video of it on here somewhere.

I don't think JDMmuscle hates ppl who drift. He hates STUPID ppl who drift on PUBLIC ROADS.....big difference.

For some1 who calls his SC his "baby", the OP treats his car like crap....and now it is crap.

I just feel so bad for the other kid. He's got a problem to deal with because of negligence. Tsk... tsk...

it should buff right out

Good Grief.. Did he just ask how to change the quarter panel???

LOL!

If it wasn't for the fact that inexperienced drivers (street racers, drifters, etc) have caused the increased police ****-ism towards those with a modified car, as well as the negative publicity towards drifting; I would feel bad for him, but as was stated earlier, he got off really lucky.. what if the person had been on a motorcycle? getting swatted by 3600 lbs of lexus?

It only takes one mistake (lack of judgement, screwup etc) to ruin the sport for a lot of people.

After several rich kid/fast car incidents back in canada, they imposed a huge crackdown on modified vehicles. The results: a 10 year license suspension, $10,000 fine, vehicle impoundment, and jail time.

Why did they do that? Simple, people were dying.

Although it sucks that you wrecked your car, just be happy nobody got hurt, i can live wth a busted car, but i don't know iif i could live knowing i killed/maimed/paralyzed an innocent person.

Where in NY are you located and what hours do you normally drive? I don't wanna be around when you "drift"

Judging by the kind of accident he had, pulling the quarter panel back into place would take a miracle and then some for someone with no body repair experience. I remember when i hit my quarter panel a while back (no i wanst drifting, i was SLIDING to avoid a deer) every shop except one said that the panel could not be salvaged. The one body shop that said it could pull the fend said it would require quite a lot of effort and even then it wouldn't be perfect.
