Thanks for the kind words guys,
I may go OEM 97+ front bumper with a lip on it but the rear quarter has damage too and id like to go wide fronts as ill be able to get a better offset wheel in there and be able to get more angle out of the car. if it wasn't for spacing the wheel out further from the frame for angle id keep the stock fenders.

Sucks that it happened bro. It's the price we pay for our love of motorsports. I'd sell you my D-MAX fenders but they are too rare. Are you looking into a rep or the OG Ridge or the other option which is rear overfender's? I'm trying to decide which route to take also, but my fenders are still crisp and clean. I have a source for the Missile K&M rear overfender's if your interested. Too bad RaceOn discontinued their rep of the Ridge kit. You could destroy that all day for cheap. Send me a PM bro.

So the cars fixed and working well again, I had to replace the lower control arm, upper control arm, Steering rack, and get the knuckle strengthened just to be safe there. I still need to try and find a new heim joint for the Supernow Tie rods because the one on that side is a bit loose now.
I got the correct spacers for the alternator now so theirs no more belt walk. Also if you remember me talking I was told to put my AC back in to triangulate the powersteering pump, thats not going to happen any time soon but Accelerated performance makes a bracket to triangulate it for $180. that's ridiculous for a rod with 2 heim joints IMO so I went to jegs and came up with this for $45 after tax.
on top of all that, Im getting ready to order the new rear over fenders and front fenders. once they are imported ill go to Chicago to pick them up and stop by Touge factory to get the rest of my body peices. Im so stoked. Wheels will be up next in the list.

I'm so jealous of that Hoist. That's a dream come true for a lot of us.
It must be so nice to have ability and resources like that. It puts a whole new dynamic on the relationship with you and your car. If most of us, had an accident wit our car, we would be mad, and looking to get it fixed, you? "Wide body time!" LOVE IT- Best of luck to you and your cars!

well time for an update,
parts car is stripped and obviously parts are being sold.
as far as the dark green SC, not much has changed, got a new passenger seat, and new rails for mine.
Ive got supra TT rear brakes now with hawk HP+ rotors.
I also just purchased a set of these. Rear tubular upper arms.
