This is exactly what I decided to do. I didn't want any hidden damage, and the way some of those panels were shifted I decided easily not to mess with that. I took it to a reputable place here in Utah and they are fixing it. They have worked on a friend's Z06 a few times.
As a result of this chaos, I decided to put on some good Toyo tires. I chose the Proxes T1R's. Specifically the 295/35ZR18's.
Some of you have mentioned that I should lower the car. This is probably a different topic, but if I lowered the car say 1", is it going to do anything different to my suspension? What can I expect or should I post a new message?

Glad to see you were okay.
