I banged mine up too last september in similar area. Bought a new fender and fascia and while replacing one bent suspension member decided to go full z/28 suspension. Your not hurt, that is all that matters, fix er up and enjoy. By the way you got a 2015 so enjoy having splitters available...... 2013 splitter $800 with all the necessary crap.

Took it to a buddy at a body shop last week. Estimate for the shop to repair $9K+ but no chassis/subframe damage.
That confirmed for me doing everything I can myself. I'm looking at buying a wrecked 2014, rear end damage. Then I can recoup some by selling the left over parts.

This is the control arm off the front right. It was under so much tension I had to cut it in half to get it out.

Mine be t just like that too, that control arm is same as the z/28 and its like $80. The front ride link with the big pushing has upgrades on a z/28 but its just the white delrin spacer that sone aftermarket guys sell. Eitherway the arm is still cheap. All the best luck man, you can do way cheaper than $9k doing it ursef. Gut the thing aell i terior make up funds and have a better track car lol!!i

I picked up a car that was hit on the drivers side. Got a bunch of parts off it.
Should have the car back together next week. I was able to order a control arm for $42. Real GM part.

AT LAST! The cars all back together and on the road again. I have a track day coming up on the 8th with any luck it will have a less stressful out come.
For any that are interested I'll run down the process of getting the car back together. After dinging the car I purchased a totaled 2014 SS on Copart. Turned out to be a RS and I couldn't used the parts I was looking for. While I was picking up the SS I saw a 2014 LS with side damage the same color as mine. So I bought it as well. If your wondering why I purchased the SS when I couldn't use it Copart is an auction sight. You win the auction you have to buy the car. I'm sure there are ways around this but I'm also sure they aren't free. So I got both cars home and stripped what I needed from the LS. Unfortunately I still had to purchase some parts. Took it to a friend that manages a body shop and he gave me a deal on the parts. paint and some assembly. So now I looking at the wrecked 2014 SS and wondering what should I do with it. Looking it over the damage isn't too bad. Left rear quarter, wheel well and suspension are torn up, Air bags didn't deploy. So being the person I am I decided to turn it into a dedicated track car. I'll continue the saga in a new thread. Thanks to all, Craig

Just an update a little late.
Had my track days 2 weeks ago (June 8+9) had a great weekend. Weather was outstanding upper 60's lower 70's. Car ran great. I even managed to keep it on track!! Things went so well I moved up from HPDE group 2 to group 3. This weekend I drove the car to the Camaro Nationals in Frederick MD (about 200 miles). Car ran great no issues fun show. It's a blast having a car you can track & show!
