That thing is totaled already. Hit front and rear, airbags popped and rear wheels bent on a RWD, rear transmission car.. means it will never ride right again.

Still good for some parts though. I'd imagine something like that roof would sell pretty quickly.

Looks like a painted CF top is available for someone in the market.

Seriously. With that 4 wheel steering you would think they'd pull into that parking spot a little better.

Indeed, everything is fixable. But this car should NOT be.
Parted out is where it needs to go.
