well as some of you know i hydroplaned into a tree lastnight and the car is pretty mangled. im fine though. the bumper, hood, hood latch hood support frame, right head light, right fog light, the frame piece under the headlight that holds the bumper support, the radiator is a u shape, and the right fender is alil bent. i have no idea how much the damages will cost but im pretty sure its not totalled. i do have a turbo kit installed that doesnt really make my car street legal and also the fact i dont have a bumper support to fit the i/c might kinda hurt me. should i revert everything back to stock b4 the claims adjuster comes to look at it, or will the insurance company still cover me? its state farm by the way, and i have full coverage. who has past experiance in this type of situation?? i just dont want to get my claim denied and have to pay for all the damages out of pocket, cuz i sure as hell dont have that kinda money. if i do have to revert back then i was wondering if their were any local ppl that would allow me to borrow stock parts. i need everything from the exhaust mani back all the way to the muffler (everything, cats and all), and thats it i still have my old intake so its not much to change out. how would i plug my tapped hole in the oil pan? anyways any info would be great as well as where the best place to source the parts would be, cuz even if insurance pays i still think ill save money and do the work myself.
 
well as far as the hole in the oil pan goes u can plug it with a bolt that has the same threads just use a teflon washer or some silicon to seal it. If the the insurance asks say something put a hole in it and you needed to plug it up
 
already told you how I can help, let me know when we are stripping your car down.
 
my car got wrecked and the insurance company did not say anything about the turbo kit being on their.......... i would just keep it the way it is and have the adj come look at is........
 
i have a stock mazda axelback, and we have the same car? what else do you need? if i have anything that you need, i'll let you borrow it.
 
Did you eat at a Chili's today? If so I waited on you and saw your car. Sorry to see a nice looking car get smashed. Allstate pays claims so I say let them take a look at it, get it appraised and fixed. Goodluck.
 
Most companies will do two things w/aftermarket parts.

1. Completely ignore they are there (unless they can prove the parts were at fault for the accident).

2. Ask how much they cost and write a check.

I've seen both happen on the forums. Honestly I'd say don't worry about reverting back to stock now. Wait and see what happens...
 
That sucks, Danny. I agree with everyone usually insurance companies don't care about mods. My brother had a car that barely anything was stock on and got in an accident. The insurance company fixed everything. I hope everything works out.
 
Major suckage. Sorry to hear man... know how you feel though. My car just got ran over literally. I'd leave it the way it is for the adjuster to see. Thats what I'm doing.. I really doubt they care what you have under the hood. I wish you good luck man.

Get pics up!
