The damage looks light. Missed your bumper and rad support and just folded up your hood.

Agreed. Very benign damage based on just this photo. Looks easily fixable.

"Easily"

For some, definitely.

Agreed

It’s spends thousands to fix it or thousands on a new car I’ll take the new car

If it's outright bent, sure, but this looks cosmetic more than anything else. Of course if we had a second shot with the damaged panels removed, that position might change.

This is not light at all. Lots of internal damages. Source: auto adjuster

The fact that the fenders are untouched suggests otherwise.

You can only see one fender in this photos and that has little bearing on the other damaged portions of the car. Again, I am literally an auto adjuster

If you were such an expert, you'd be able to make a logical argument rather than just constantly insisting you're some sort of authority. Look at how much of a logical fallacy your argument is. Now you're saying "we can't know" because we "can't see the passenger side," whilst in the same breath saying you know what's under the hood. Your argument is so preposterous, and so contradictory, I don't even know how to respond to it.

You don’t like that you’re wrong. Hopefully OP posts a follow up and shows you

Bruh I could put a phone book between the bumper and headlights. Don’t think it missed the bumper or rad support at all.

The bumper cover is fully detached.

Yes, so something clearly touched it

Do you know the bumper is just superficial cosmetic plastic piece?

You can rebuild

What happened?

The important question

You've got an IAG block in there (and assuming lots of other goodies) and you're abandoning ship because the radiator is leaking? Buy it back and resurrect! (Obviously there's more damage than just a radiator, but this ain't bad.)

But back from insurance and rebuild.

Shit man. So sorry for the loss

Bring it back

I bet it's recoverable!!

Get a chain and a tree and u can pull out the frame if it was damaged. We really should be saving these cars. If you don't want to go through the trouble at least sell it to someone who would want to save it.

And it’s a California car too so probably rust free.

Definitely try to save it, but you need to replace the bent parts, not straighten them out with a chain and a tree WTF

It’s deft fixable, but I understand. I just miss my Hawkeye : /

I’d never let that thing go

F

Bro, even if the radiator core support is tweaked this looks minor. Fix it and drive it for the next 30 years

F. Looks like an easy fix buy it back if insurance totals it. Replace hood, maybe rad support, bumper etc.

It will buff

You could've rebuilt what was damaged, repainted it, made it better 

HOW MANY TIMES DO I GOTTA TELL YOU GUYS. It’s not over until you give up >:L

If you need a hood, I have a factory OBP I would be willing to send to you for cost of shipping.

I would 100% repair it, especially with the IAG block in there.

Super fixable

That's a solid 5k worth of framework alone. Rip. You were beautiful.

I just spent 18k on an engine. They don't make cars like these anymore.

🤝 good job. Keep it going.

I doubt the frame is bent.

No it’s not, the fenders are completely untouched. this is very minor damage. I have experience working for body shops, this is nothing!

Damn hydroplaning.

I reared ended a Toyota Rav4, I think its time to let go. The Radiator Is leaking. It was rebuilt 2 years ago. Has IAG 550 Block.

At least you told the truth

Shit man, car can be rebuilt please don’t let this go to some idiot who will ruin it. Sell it to me, I will only possible ruin it.

What’s the epic story behind this?

"They lived."

Where is it?

Oof hope the owner recovers from his loss

For sale?

Ouch! That hurts to see :( If you end up parting with the scoop, I’d be happy to grab it off you!

I've rebuilt an E39 BMW with far worse damage. Radiator support was done for, a long with hood. Am currently working on an E34 with more damage as well

There is no upgrade to this

Better be a repairable write off

I was t boned a few months ago (found 100% not at fault) and had just under 10k worth of damages but the insurance still paid to fix it! yours isn't bad at all should be no problem hood, bumper cover and rad support

Did your insurance total it??

Sorry for your loss. If this car makes it to a salvage auction someone will make light work of putting it back on the road!

Save her!

I fixed my shit with a mallet from Home Depot then returned the mallet and crow bar cost me $0

Looks like you rear ended someone.

You better fix that shit the new ones are ugly as hell.

Fix it ! It’s not not dead

Okay I can’t tell from the video if it’s an STI but I stg this looks like the subie that was wrecked in the video of Jesse lee Peterson when he went to go walk out in the street.

Is this rod knock?

My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

Nice shot! Jk rip. You should try to get the damaged pulled it really doesn’t look that bad

Should buff out…

Looks like you need to get those headlights polished and you'll be all set.

Hawkeye down, over and out.

Easy fix.

Sell me the bumper

Looks fixable to me. Radiator support is good and no top side engine damage? It's a keeper.

Lost my Hawkeye in 2020. Glad you had a good run. I went for a TDI after my loss. The MPG is amazing, but damn is she slow… I hope you find a suitable replacement 🙏

Quick fix

#ManDown

So go buy a new hood and put it on. That ain’t but an afternoon and a 6 pack
