First, I'd remove this from your sig until you have a lot more mods.

Anyway, is the damage superficial or is their structural damage. If it's superficial, I'd say you shouldn't have a problem installing everything.

Any pics?

Honestly...if it were my car I'd have it fixed prior to modding it. What's the point of having a great sounding, fast car that looks and drives like **** because some dumbass hit it?

Yea well I feel the same way about the mods but its spring break and im home working so this may be one of the only times until the summer when I have a couple of days with 8-10 ours to myself. I won't be driving the car until its fixed except for a 10 minute drive after the headers to let the car find idle.
