Please help me save my baby!
I bought a 2016 halo frs before the new year, with 1500 miles on it, i was in an accident. The car was hit on the front drivers side and spun out 180 degrees. The frame member on the front right crinkled. My questions are, after putting my car on a framerack and having it straightned... Is it still track worthy? Is it road worthy? Does anybody have track time with a "rebuilt"? Or is the structural integrity of my frs done? Can this damage be easily repaired? Any input would be very appreciated... Thank you

If you don't mind me asking. Are you at fault? If not, Go after the other guy insurance they should cover everything. But If you are at fault have your insurance fix it. I wish you good luck. The reason I asked is I was involved in a TBone accident but it wasn't my fault the other guy insurance paid for everything including after market add ons. I hope everything works out for you.

They "should"be able to fix it 100% . Otherwise they wouldn't use the frame rack. But if you don't let insurance cover it, you might as well total it cuz you can't afford to fix it yourself

That's an expensive project you bought. Check out the journals, some one else in here bought a wreck and its gorgeous now. But they were a body person

OT: as a potential FR-S buyer and forum member for 2 weeks only, I am getting a bit uneasy, seeing so many "I just crashed" reports on the forum already.

People break their toys when they aren't careful. Drive it like your Corolla and you'll be just as safe. Drive it like a toy and you might wreck it too. But what's the point of a toy if you can't drive it?

Like the others said don't sweat it. For every one of those "I crashed" cars there are tens of thousands that didn't. People just don't post "drove today and didn't crash" so the numbers look skewed. Be willing to bet that these cars are not crashed any more often than anything else that is predominately driven by the demographic that normally buys these.
