255's might look a little too wide and would be too tall. The'd be a little over an inch taller than stock. You might end up with some weird rubbing issues even on s-techs. 255/40/18 is almost spot on stock diameter though.

Way too tall, 255/40 will work but I wouldn't put it on. 245/40 is what I had on my car once in Star Specs. It really worked out nice.

Okay, so... I ran over a deer and it was unavoidable. It was that or hit oncoming traffic.
if anyone has a radiator, undertray, non-appearance package lip, and passenger side splash guard, please let me know.
The radiator is my main concern atm, it has a few small holes, I don't think it will be too bad for now, but I mean, holes in radiator is not good, I need to replace asap.
Thanks guys. I hope someone can help me out I hate seeing her this way.
PM me prices if you don't want to post in public.

Well, that's where she's at. I've gotta remove the A/C compressor, remove the bracket from the transmission and I'll have that bitch outta there. Surprisingly I've done this in a day, I'm proud of myself for not having done this before
If there's anyone that wants to uh...attend, or has a bit of experience doing this, I could use the help or guidance
Or if you just want to come by, watch and learn that's fine too :P
I'd like to at least have it running by Friday afternoon.

I'm not sure how I managed it, but it went under, took the front under plastic with it and made a nice dent in my radiator, the size of a bullet (maybe antlers). Any who, radiator isn't dripping to the point where it drips to the ground, but you can tell its sealing through so it needs replaced asap.

Fuz, early sun morning? I would like to get it done and out of the way. Can we do it at your place? I won't have any of my tools with me at the new place since we are subleasing it.

Moete: Early Sunday morning at my place works. I'll pm you my number and address if you don't have it.
Byako: Sorry to hear man. Check some of the salvage yards in the area, they may have a radiator. Make sure you A/C Condenser isn't ruined as well.
ThatNewGuy: I'd help, but is sounds like we're on opposite schedules since i work 8am to 5pm. I'll give you a call this afternoon though.

So... For our cars, when you look through the air dam (or what's left of it in my case)
You see two cooling mechanisms. One in the front and one right behind it.
From what I can see, the one that is damaged is the one on the front, I'm guessing this is the AC condenser?
If so I guess I don't need a radiator but a AC condenser since what's damaged is in the front, not in the back

Yep. AC condenser is the thin one in the front. Pull it off and make sure it didn't go through to the radiator though.
Good news is that it will be cheaper and not as dire to fix than the radiator. Bad news is you'll have to recharge bot the high and low sides of the AC system to have AC again.

His system will have to be evacuated and the vacuum maintained for a period to ensure there are no leaks. While I know how to do this, I don't have any equipment so your best bet is to find a service shop. You can try calling Steele's Hometown Tire in Burlington, I've had some tires mounted and an alignment by them. They do good work and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I know where I'll be sneaking into soon...
Yeah, any time your A/C system is opened up all the air must be evacuated before charging with refrigerant, otherwise the moisture in the air can cause problems (like freezing up your thermostatic expansion valve). KOI usually has good prices, I'd check with them first. For online, try The Parts Group (partsgroup.com) and Rock Auto.
