You should go crazy to fix it up. I did that and it did help me to heal my pain after my accident.

So far the crash is at $6k and some change... 3 wheels, rear control arms, bumpers, right door repair, right skirt, headlamp cracked....blah blah blah...
The "BRICK" is at $3k, glass,tint, steering wheel got hit, some trim inside...
So with a few "upgrades" the car should look a bit better... 19" wheels, looking at the Tenzo R dc-5 v2, Nismo JDM lip spoiler, not sure about the skirts yet...gf210 springs? More to come..........

I hate to keep asking questions that might be n00bish but I'd like to know. So, since your insurance company is covering this, and since 1 of those 2 claims was "your fault" (i think) would that mean that you should be expecting your premium to be going up once its time for your policy to renew?

Was this covered under comprehensive?

As bad as it looks, damages was under $3k. No frame damages, no replacing on parts, they were all repairable. Insurance paid for it except for the deductible. It is still pending investigation. The accident was not my fault. Once they complete investigation, I will get it back.

I did pay for the body kit out of my own pocket, but the body shop paint it and installed it for me for free.
