Default Sliding out wreck





Friends, just couple hours ago I was spinning on a open road in the Katy area. Maybe I was too into this beautiful sunny day , I was running too fast into a turn. So she slid and got the right side beat pretty bad as the pictures show . I drove it back to not far home with a 90 degree pulled steering, also the exclamation triangle sign and VSA stayed on. So I would like to hear from you all about:
1. what else might have been damaged other than cosmetics?
2. Anyshop that is good at fixing rims and perhaps powdering in Houston?
3. Any recommended bodyshop around Katy?
Thank you all in advance for any suggestions !

The triangle is the VSA activation. Do your brakes feel weird? Does it corner the same (aside from the 90 degree steering)? I'd take it to the dealer to have it looked at.

Thank you all for the suggestions. It wasn't me. I have a sebring silver, and I didn't go that far out to 71.
Brakes felt the same, nothing too weird to be noticed. But turning right was really pulling on the steering wheel, also felt something was rubbing. Do I really have to take to dealer? Can any good shop tell what has gone bad?

I'm sure that any shop can do it for you.

It looks like the tire may be rubbing the inner lining.

VSA light may be due to a damaged wheel speed sensor, or steering angle sensor out of calibration since your steering system took some damage.
