I dunno whats damaged really.

The fender is creased and bent, you can see it in the pic above, 2 bends, one under the side marker and one just by the end of the wheel well flare. The fender is pushed up about an inch so you can see the gat where it should meet the side skirt.

I'm sure the lower control arm is hosed, the front lip is mis-aligned so I'm sure it scraped that. Probably some other suspenstion components needs to be repalced/repaired. The rotor needs to be repaired. The lug holes are stripped

Thats pretty much all I could tell from looking at it the way it is. I'll wait to see it at the bodyshop on the lift on monday.

You should take it to the stealership! Get this done right dude. The stealership will replace anything that remotely looks damaged and since its not on your bill... At least you'll get everything done right.
The problem with taking it to the dealership is if they are poking around in there, they see absolutely everything else that's been changed on the car. I'd prefer them not to void my warranty

I'll take it to my normal body shop, they have no quams about racking up nice bills. They also helped me out with my last car as well when Sears auto crushed my side skirts with their lift when mounting new tires.

You'd think it's rocket science around here to get wheels/tires mounted. Both times I've tried the morons have busted something. I'm yet to find a place that hasnt broken something when changing my tires.

I watched that happen at the track once, with my buddy's new S4. The shop that had installed his OZ SLs had used the wrong lugs... [:@]
