That sucks. Good news though. Now you can get CF fenders and a new front-end. On the serious side, you need to have that wheel, CV joint, axle, control arms checked out for damage or misalignment. Have a frame shop (not all body shops are frame shops) pay close attention to the K-member mount points, particularly the long bolt mount just abve the axle. This point on the frame has been known to crack if the wheel took enough force like in a wreck or hitting the curb.

the estimate is $3200...um the shop I am taking it to is called The Paint and Body...they did my last car and its just like new so i'm trusting he will do the same with my baby...The guy said he is going check everything to make sure its not just cosmetic damage.

So far aw we know I am getting a new fender, side mirror, door panel, a-pillar, and a new wheel.

I was kinda hoping he messed my lights up so i could get HID lights...darn..i'm not getting a rental so that money will possibly get me an exhaust.

Good you have someone to trust. Just be sure to have them double-check that frame mount point for the K-member that is depicted by the red circle in the pic. 5-to-1 that it has a cracked weld. If the seam sealant is disturbed (separated/loose), then that mount is definately bent at the least.
