No more than a cracked bumper ( which was dickered anyway), a pissed driver, a slightly muddy interior
Didn't get the plate anyway so doesn't really matter

Shoot, that sucks man. Well, at least you didn't total your ride... but I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that you find a nice bumper to replace the cracked one...

80$ on amazon alone for a unpainted one and that's the cheapest I found it anywhere
And that's the skin alone
That's not even the bumper filler or valence/dam/rain gaurd thing under the bumper which is about 40 each ( like wtf why do people charge like 2x what I can get for new???)
I really don't care atm
It's not a huge thing
And when I do replace it I'm going full quick detach anyway because I tow this thing occasionally and plan on tracking it every so often
But I'm going to go take a gander at a few local yards around see if they got anything

But it's perfectly liveable anyway right now
Plus I'd rather spend 80 bucks picking up a set of gsxr 1300 throttle body's and work on a Itb setup ( which also requires going to throttle cable unlike our throttle by wire) which I don't really mind too much

Yeah, that's your best bet. But you might want to call ahead before you start hitting the junkyards just to make sure that they have any Sonics. Even though the Sonic has been out now for a little over 5 years, I still find them hard to find in junkyards.

Here's what I did to my Sonic last night.
I fell asleep while I was driving home after work and I hit a curb.
But I thank God that the damage wasn't worse than what it was.

Definitely glad YOU'RE ok. Rims can be replaced. How's the alignment? Is that a crack on the wheelwell or it a deceiving dent/scratch?

Thanks brother. The alignment seems to be fine but the balance of the wheels seems to be off. The wheels didn't crack but what hurts is this... I bought this wheels brand new about 11 months ago with a one year warranty. Not even a week ago I had them replaced with a brand new set because the clear coat on the originals was starting to come off. So in a sense, these were brand new wheels. But I have to remind myself that it could have been worse.

No doubt about it. That sleepy feeling when driving absolutely sucks. Especially leaving work wanting to get home. We've all been there. Bummer on your rims tho. Chalk this one up to Sh!t Happens.

Yeah, that sleepy feeling while driving happens to a lot us. But what I wish that I would have done was to pull over on a safe area and walked a little bit instead of continuing to drive under the sleepy influence... oh well, lesson learned...

I installed the ZZP muffler delete today. Definitely louder than I expected. It sounds like a race car now. I'm a bit scared because I live down the street from the Sheriff's department.

Ouch, i was quoted by progressives fancy photo estimating software 750 bucks to repair mine. I thought it would be higher.

Yeah a new bumpers about 300 plus another 200-300 for paint and labor. It may be a bit more if your rebar is damaged

Idk about the rear but a new front bumper skin is about 100
The front bumper filler and airdam/valence/raingaurd are about 40 each ( this is all front bumper ) so for just the skin I'd expect around 100-150 that's it
