I crashed my Camaro SS *Pics* I don't know what to do... The car was perfect and now I don't feel it will ever be right again. The engine runs fine and it looks like all thats busted is the quarter, the front bumper, the light and the wheel is bent. The car still starts and seems to run fine but the steering is messed up. It doesn't look like there is any other damage to the car. Am I looking at like some crazy number to have this repaired...
By the way I lost control of the car getting on the interstate while it was wet out. I was getting on then my car started spinning..

no insurence?
you can find good parts used...get everything you need together.. then bring it to a body shop to be put together and painted. if fram isnt tweaked...install parts yourself... then take it to a suspension place to get it squared away..then to body shop to get painted...

I could claim insurance but I would have to pay 1k, then they would take care of the rest and my rates would go up.
How much would too much be for this damage? Every time something happens to one of my cars the car never works right again. Always drives messed up. I had the same type of damage to another car 4 years ago but it was a transaxle and it cost 8k to be repaired.

I know it looks bad but if its only what you tell us then it really isnt that bad. You will be able to find the parts you need on here easy. If you can put it back together yourself take, it somewhere to get sprayed you'll save a ton of money. If you do that get the bumper and the fender sprayed and then put it on your car, that way they can get all the edges painted and you save your car from all the dust and all that crap from being in the bodyshop.

Good luck with the situation man! Just curious, what kind of tires are you running?

Your pic shows the front fender, and you could replace the fender, nose, headlight & bent wheel yourself. If if screwed up the steering, then you may want to have a shop correct that for you.
