It wasn't the fault of the camber (which actually wasn't extreme). Just a snap reaction to something being running in front of me.

I was able to keep the bars, the winglets, and the wheels. The body shop wouldn't let me swap my stock suspension back on. I even brought a friend to help me do it. They wouldn't let me..

I came out ahead on the car, so I'm happy about that. I know that what I put in will never equal what I get out in a situation like this.

Nice build man!

Maybe I completely missed this, but where did you get those winglets? I like the look but the TRD ones are a little too pricey for me atm.
