Take it in, get it all fixed up, and make sure they look at the suspension and alignment. Don't listen to everybody here saying "It looks all cosmetic", because there's no way to tell from a few pictures.
yes i know this. unfortunately here in China things don't work like that...they have already told me they know all the damage and havent even lifted it yet to check the suspension or anything else...then they said "oh when we lift it we will see..." which is ok but now they are waiting on parts to be produced and sent...and it is very close to the chinese new year. im trying to get them to look now and see if they need to order parts now rather then later...

logic doenst work here...
