Default what should i do?

well on saturday i messed my 08 gt up pretty bad, the hood the front bumper and the fender and the door are all messed up, it was wet and i lost control and ran into some thing on the side of the road, but im really **** and dont look at my car the same now. so i was wondering what you guys think i should do, im getting her fixed soon, will be driving a rental for a LONG time .
heres what i plan on doing, im either keeping it, or trading it in and buying a white s197 gt and painting my aggresive chin spoiler white, getting a apr under chin spolier with support bars, reusing my eibach sportlines and putting 20" white saleen s281 rims, (05 and up style) and a roush spoiler. what do you think of that?
or possibly, i hate to say it but not get another stang

pics below
please do the poll as i am really on the bridge about this one. help me out, thanks to all in advance

Sorry man, that sucks to hear

I say keep it. Cause honestly you put in all that work to it and if you trade it in for a white one you will get killed for the trade in.

I understand that once it has been in a accident it will never be the same. Plus I understand how you feel.

However you have, and always will have a nice car. It may not be the same now, but later you won't even notice the difference.

Have it fixed by a good shop, it will be as good as new, whos to say God forbid you get a new one and the same thing dosen't happen, you going to keep selling them? It's a beauty, keep it and enjoy it. Glad your OK.

I say keep it, I wouldn't sell it just because of this. Body/paint shops will get it fixed up and you'll never know anything ever happened.....now, if you're just wanting something completely new, then that's a different story...
