Agreed - I got rear-ended in a previous car (Integra) and after good body work you couldn't tell.
I also agree that looking at the initial pictures of external damage you can't tell how bad it really is. Still, gl OP! Still wondering who is considered at fault!

Did she say anything incriminating at the scene? Were the police called? A good question would be why was she speeding? I'm sure it was because she was trying to make the yellow light!

Go to www.car-part.com and find some used but good condition doors. Save the money on tha part of the body work.

fixable as others have stated its just the frame i would be worried about. if they have to bend it back or cut and weild a peace back in i would not want the car at that point. It will always be weak at that point. Personally i might push to have it totalled depending on your situation really. Find another evo and start over.

The damage doesn't look that bad. My Evo kissed a guardrail last summer and looked far worse. I think the odds of it being totaled are very slim. OP, based on my experience I 'd suggest that you take a couple of dozen hours to read up on paint. After that, you'll know what to look for in a bodyshop, what questions to ask, and how to choose a painter. I was lucky to find someone in my area who took a lot of care in the repair. It didn't happen quickly, but the job was done very well. If you take the time to educate yourself, you'll gain a lot in the process. Good luck.

Like I said I hope it gets totalled, then Id just buy it back.. But would suck if the frame was bent and they just wanted to repair. I wouldnt mind having the car if the frame is 100% untouched.. but who knows.
I use to live in AZ and in AZ i would have known atleast 3 shops to take it to that are all great work and would hook me up. I just moved to Cali, and I dont know ANYONE here haha. So I am trying to my best to look around for reputable shops. So far I found Network Auto Body in Hollywood.
Any SoCal residents got a bodyshop in the Hollywood area they recommend?

How far are you from AZ. Finding a reputable shop that you trust might be worth the drive. Of course, if you can't suffer the downtime that is a different story.

Iam in SoCal. Which is over 7hours away from any shop I know in AZ. Plus dont think the Evo would be able to make that trip.

I was thinking closer and figured it would be a flatbed. Oh well.

There is no way the frame is bent from that low speed of an impact, It looks just cosmetic.
Not a big deal
