Well I got bad News........

You might want to go to another body shop and have them look at it as well.

And yeah, you probably got screwed because you're lowered. A little higher, the front bumper would've absored the majority of the impact rather than the top of the bumper/grille area.

Then again, these days, if you hit a truck or SUV w/a trailer hitch, you're screwed. Ugh.

Doesn't look to bad, if I were you I would take off the hood, head lamps, and CF grill and than have them repair all the stock body work - which doesn't look to bad. Than order a new CF grill, hood, and get some of those canadian head lamps.

Find a shop that will do that for you, not repair the parts you want to replace. So they don't charge you for an OEM part that your going to replace anyway. Also is there any engine damage? It doesn't look to me like there would be, but you never know.

Also, the body shop is kinda messed up because what if your insurance decides not to pay for after its been repaired, or if the deductable is larger than just paying for it yourself and not dealing with insurance increase.

Scout for another body shop, they SHOULD give you an estimate.

Who did you sleep with to get that one done? Insurance company should have been like "well if you only have your oem hood on the car, which is what we are insuring, than the damage wouldn't have cost so much... so here is $5... oh yea, your due again for a payment, that'll be $13,000 after tax with your new rates, which went up"

Who IS your insurance carrier???

 

[Mr. Win]

its state farm...

i have them and they say is if its installed its insured. Also most of the time its cheaper and if you have receipts its even easier.

 

[DeadGeneration]

I wonder what Geico would say. I have heard bad things about state farm, it was from a person who hit another state farm insured person. I guess it could happen with any person who hit another person with any other same insurance company.

 

[ssmp5]

I've got state farm also and they've always hooked me up. Good to here they're gonna take care of it for ya.

 

[RaiderMS3]

I got progressive, and although I do not have that many mods, I am concerned now.

"At geico our customer satisfaction is at 97 percent... god damn ricers"

[bigj884]

yep....gots state farm.....i spoke with an adjuster today....he said yep as long as the body shop will order it for you and cover it....then you can have it replaced.....took receipts with me just to make sure.....


no idea yet when car will be ready.....have to wait for phone call....they have to order everything for the car.....my best guess would be a week or 2
