Sending over a pair of driver quality front wheel lip moldings. These will hold you until you come across a show quality set. The passengers side isn't that bad. With a bit of elbow grease, it might even return to almost new.

John.

Mine was bent in both circled places on this picture. You can see the kink clearly on the up-turn from the rail, not so much on the rail it self, but it was bent "in" towards the center of the car there too.

From the top looking straight down, it was clearly visible.

I got you covered on marker lights.

Wow, glad you are OK.

I have marker lights and maybe some other stuff if needed.

When you get a chance, take a look where the rail goes into the snout section before the body mounts.

I have owned and worked on several the took that kind of shot, each time the rail was kinked at or before it goes into that area.

If I have parts you sold me they are still in the boxes you sent them in. Make your list once insurance gives an estimate.

I have half of a core support that I got from handsofstone….. yours if you need it.

Looks like it’s the driver-side half

Great advice from MK. I  went through a  really hard time due to the insurance company that didn't want to pay out and mine that didn't want to stand up for my daughter and me.

This is good advice. 

Hopefully the insurance comes through too and gives you a decent payout.  You have helped so many on this forum John, that I am sure all of us will do what we can to help you out with your car.
