Rear fender damage. At least my new wheels didn't get hit! back bumper i okay too.
At least I can shave off the antennae now lol!
I can't believe I got hit and runned though. How can someone hit a parked car in a residential area? It boggles my mind. Insurance not covering either because I'm not covered for hit and runs. So I'm ****ed probably looking at around $500-600 in repairs easy.

Really??? I drove the car home and it drove perfectly straight. Didn't even notice anything. Mechanically the car is perfect.
I know how you feel man.
Yeah... it's a big job I'm guessing.
Do you guys think it is serious enough to warrant swapping everything to my other SC which has never been accidented? I mean to me this seems like a $600 repair. The car drives fine too, I actually drove home with the damage and didn't even realize it until' I got home.

My other twin lexus lol. In times like these its good to have two cars. But I really think that I'm just going to get the fender fixed. The car drives fine and everything is in great shape on the car. Would be a waste to say its totalled IMO.
Just ate a ton of ice cream and muffins to make me somewhat happier.

Thinking of bodykits right now while I'm at it lol. If there's going to be filler might as well get a new rear bumper and some sideskirts. Thinking about keeping the stock 92 SC front /w lip and some sideskirts & rear bumper.
There's a AB-Flug replica on kijiji for cheap... I really liked the stock SC bodystyle but maybe since I'm already spending money get something new. AB-Flug rear and sides with 92 SC front... i duno just putting idea out there.

a body shop will probably charge you $1500 or so , yea they are complete rip off scam artists.
and ab flug is pretty ugly IMO , id stick with 97 sides and rear, thats what i did.
I do body work if your ever in the toronto area I can help you out, GL.

But why not go widebody now???

lol I think going widebody would end up being cheaper then getting custom bodywork. I'd have to put some spacers for the wheels but who cares lol
Think I'm going widebody!!! hahaa

So cheap... I know it might not fit right. But considering the custom work that's going to have to be done anyways. Might as well ! What do you guys think? This ones $600 + shipping. I'll put some spacers on the TRD wheels and ill be good to go lollll
Edit: who am I kidding.. widebody would probably cost 1000s to fit right. Ill just get it fixed. At least I'll shave the antennae at same time.

I have damage in the same exact spot from a few years back. Get in the trunk and just kick the dent out, then see how bad the damage is. I just live with the damage and have no plans to repair mine anytime soon even though I can do all the work myself.
Do the (if any) body work yourself, then just have a body shop do the paint/blend for you and that will greatly drop the cost down. There are plenty of DIY's on the internet that will show you the basics for body work and how to work with bondo/fiberglass.
