sorry to break it to you, but that car is pretty much totalled. make sure you post up what the insurance company says.

Geez not much luck.... last year you spun out and flipped your old ride.... now this. They say it comes in threes....

For the roads around here and the money I say go for a set of Rotas... cheap to replace and great looking copies. Maybe some J.SPL's, Track R's or a set of J Mags.

Is the car going to be up and going for the Fun Run?... I doubt but you never know...

bro that **** is not fixable thats totalled, dont know what body shop told u that was fixable cuz thats for sure not, ur whole frame shifted in the rear and most the time the insurance company will consider a car totalled hit hard in the quarter panel and ur **** is hit HARD! if that cost more to fix then what the insurance whats to give u to fix it,they wont pay it. they'll just give u book value on the car

Get a lawyer, and make a very good amount of money. Let the insurance total the car, buy it back for dirt cheap.. take the motor...

Well I hate to say it but I think that ROTA may be your best bet. Their wheels are somewhat played out, but they are cheap and pretty good , if you were looking to shell out some extra $$ looking into some Enki RPF1's, maybe used (I have a Subie, so u might want to double check to make sure you can get em' for Honda, b/c I'm not too sure), but yeah that's my $.02.


also be sure to be positive that the chasis isn't bent or warped or anything like that, b/c if it is ur looking at major $$ and way too much hastle to make modding the car worth it.

good luck man
