Default z meets curb

Smashed up my baby. I didn't know a curb could do this much damage... The rear wheel makes me cringe. I'm not sure if my insurance company is going to cover it and I haven't got a quote yet for the repair costs. Just wondering if there are any experts out there who know what kind of damage this looks like and how much I should prepare to shell out to fix it up. The body is pretty much fine, just the side skirt that was knocked off. Obviously the front rim is garbage and probably the rear one too. The suspension has gotta be pretty knarled too and probably the frame bent a bit. Thanks guys.
btw, it's an 06 base model all stock with only about 7,000 miles on it.

yea, what did you do? looks like you slid sideways into it.

you can probably pick up a set of used 06-07 wheels from a member on here. as for the rear wheel, doesnt look good.

Looks like a drift gone wrong... Jack it up, take the wheels off (if you can) then check out the damage. That should give you a better idea of whats going on.

Good luck!

I am thinking there are some bent suspension components, and some
odds and ends that need to be pulled/replaced. Great timing tho, lots
of awesome Aftermarket parts to choose from.

MOD... NOW.
