Fack, I rear ended someone today, front bumper is only mildly damaged. The radiatorsupport however got pushed in a little bit and my headlight bracket is off. Now also... my steering colum is now rubbing the turbo elbow... any advice on how to fix? Im guessing somehow the motor mounts moved? any other ideas. the rear end happened at like 20mph.

If I remeoved the heatshield over the dp anyone think it would fix? or should i just try and put some notches in my turbo elbow.

Before it barely rubbed

Call McKinney and get a O2 housing/turbo elbow extension. That should help some. I cant remember how much he said they were. That could possibly fix it temporarily.
