it is fixable. A good chance for you to claim insurance and get a new paint job with new bodykit.

He was coming out of a parking lot, so not very fast. I'd guess we were both doing about 25-30mph. No side curtains... it's a base model. Amazingly, the hit doesn't intrude into the passenger cabin. But it sure scared the *##! out of me. It was a big Chevy full-size utility van. I dented his bumper so bad he had to be towed off... so at least she fought back.

It's why I sacrificed and took the base model over several Enthusiasts I had to choose from. I'm only one of two I've seen in the state... and I log about 1000 miles a week on the roads (bought in Aug with 3000 miles, currently almost 30,000 miles).

In the pics, it looks like Le Mans Sunset metallic.
