I wouldn't be surprised if you need an alignment after running into a pothole that hard. I hope there isn't any more damage that you haven't seen yet, and I would try to get money from whoever the correct authority is to contact.

Ditched the wing last night.
Used some vinyl circles to cover the holes. Color doesn't match but no big deal. Need to find a legit shop to fill and paint the trunk lid once I'm done with all the bolt-ons and tune.

The first hole is where the bolt sheared. The second hole has rounded threads....
It seems like the stud that is screwed on there came loose over time and moved around that bolt hole which resulted the threads on that hole to get torn up. I guess thats the reason why that bolt sheared. BC it was the only thing holding that engine on one side. I'll definitely torque everything to spec when I get the parts put back on.
