I only have the OEM coilovers and exhaust, but I won't be able to do the install myself. Plus, I don't think anyone would want coils from a flooded car. The wheels are going with the car. I will include the invoice for the wheels, hopefully I'll get something from insurance.

Looks like the all-weather mats held up nicely. Sucks that you loose your car though.

sorry for your loss bro Mother Nature sucks when it comes to these times. if you can try and take anything off you can and part out. your car is a 08 right I would be interested in the led mirrors. the exhaust should be fine also along with the coils.

Man, I was hoping Sandy wouldn't affect anyone directly but looks like it has. Sorry to hear sniper, let us know how everything works out! Wish you the best.

I'm so sorry this had to happen to you. But I'm glad nothing worse happened. I have no doubt that you will be able to pick yourself and your loved ones out of this.

Damn, that sucks. Thanks for sharing the pics though. Out here in Indiana, we don't ever see that kind of situation. We do, however, get twisters that destroy absolutely everything beyond recognition. Don't know what would be worse, absolute destruction of a car or a flood that destroyed the car chemically (salt water).

Either way, glad you are safe. Cars are replaceable, people are not. Good luck with the next ride!
