Finally....this shows how far it was dented in, about 1.5 inches. I had to get a brand new door, brand new front spoiler....the quarter panel and fender were fixable.

I took a turn too hard and hit a cement barrier in Chicago and basically rubbed the whole passenger side up except for the rear spoiler and side skirts. I was supposed to have this car back a week or two ago but the door that came in from Germany was damaged and a bunch of other inconveniences.

Ouch. That's gotta hurt.

Is insurance involved? Would insurance pay if they find you 100% at fault?

I was at fault......they are paying about $5900 of the $7700...that includes my deductible. It's a long story...they originally were going to pay about $2000 less than the $5900. I have a thread about it a few pages back on this forum.
