Unhappy Crashed My Camaro :(

Today I got on the gas a little bit going out of a turn and I slid and then caught the road and slammed into a fence pole.

It looked way worse than what it was. The only damage was the front bumper, and headlight support it gone.

Should I try and fix her? Part it out? I will try and post a picture later

(Just to be noted this has never happened to me EVER in the 4 years I have been driving. ALSO the local law enforcement told me they were waiting for me to do something like this.....lame right)

Hate that happened but I can't say I never had something like that happen! Is the crossmemeber/radiator support jacked up? Hard to say about fixing or what without pictures and looking behind all the crunched up stuff. But if the dash pad is good! Might want to part it out and contact me!

Doesn't sound so bad - Front bumper cover is only a couple hundred off of Ebay and easy enough to put on.

^^^yeah, pics would be really helpful to give advice.

Fortunately for you, you have a black car (judging by your avatar, correct me if i'm wrong). If you go junkyard shopping, it's a lot easier to match black to black than to match other colors.

Ouch. I was ran off the road by some gangbanger about a month ago. Jumped a curb, went thru a bush and landed nose first into a parking lot. All I had was a cracked front end piece hanging down where my air damper is and some crack on the side body and an insanely f**ked up alignment. Fixed the alignment ($100), cut off the hanging piece and stitched it back together with some zip ties . Looks good as new except for a couple of stitches you can see in the front end.

But yah, hard to see without pics so let's see em! If there's no internal damage though I'd say fix her up. Front ends are everywhere for pretty cheap and same with headlight housings.

From the pics, it looks like mostly cosmetic damage. Try to find a donor car and get the black filler part, even some of those cars with a damaged bumper cover will still have that good on them. Nose cone and some paint and you be good to go.
