Yeah the front is repairable with replacement parts but that rear quarter is what I am worried about! The dealership said there are none available in the US so it would have to be shipped from Japan. Vipers hit it right on the head, thanks man, there is no middle with those drivers. I am just glad I was not driving the convertible or the knightsports FC or I would of really been pissed!

Congrats man! You're not reusing the J-spec block from the black s4?

This is what my car looks like right now I'm sending it out this saturday
It's funny how I put on the bumper fixed the oil leak and started to pull out my FCD but put it back in all within a hour but it took me a month just to get around doing.
I need to work on my car a lot more.
Honroc that sucks Bra, is your steering all good and suspension?

The rear quater will need to be cut out and the new one welded in. There are spot welds along the inner drain channel which will be where it will be rewelded. Frame and suspension is all good, but as you can imagine it will for sure need a good alignment after all is said and done.

Thank you but I need a backup set for smog, yes. I just smogged my car back in December so I have a long ways to go until I need to do it again. I'm looking for an extra stock setup to swap in so I won't have to resort to pulling the setup off my brother's car every time.

Sorry Renton but I blame Jesse. Helping him with his FC just makes me wanna dump all my extra money into mine
So I should be getting my coilovers and front lip within the next week or so. Anyone have any suggestions on which lip would go with some kaminari skirts?? I'm thinking Mazdaspeed, but really havent decided

^ It's cool Jesse.
Ray you have another 7? S5 I take it since your looking for a Mazdaspeed lip. I need a lip too for mine but the only Mazdaspeed lip I know of that's for sale it frome Corksport and it's $200
I want to do something ghetto and grab a used front lip out of the trash at work (Audi, Porsche) or do the Home Depot thing and make it out of garage door rubber.
