Ouch. Sorry to see that. How much? I'm not sure on that, but UPS should be taking care of it, right?

See what brown can do for you.. (attempt at humor to make you feel better)

OMFG. I would have seriously shed a tear if I had to walk out to that.
Did the driver realize it or did someone have to track him down?

holy..

They'll take care of it for you. I can recall a black ITR earlier this year that had damage down the passenger side - door and quarter panel at least. It was crunched in like yours and the car wasn't totaled.

it doesn't matter as long as it was repaired back to good condition after it was previously salvaged and he has insurance on it... at least that's the way it works in KS. good luck, man, that sucks.

OMG, sorry to see your R like this.

It will be quite pricy to fix that and most likely you will need a new quarter panel + paint + the rim and maybe a new bumper = probably around $4-5k (depends where you go).

Wow that sucks man. Looks like in that big UPS truck it took longer than usually to realize he hit something. Your even looking at a new rim and hell a new alignment etc. Keep us posted.

Seems to be a favorite spot for ITRs to get serious damaged at.
