Man I'm so sorry to hear that I'm in the same boat as a few others in this thread, I loved your car, it looked GREAT. Sorry for your loss.

If you can wait for the next NSX to come out, do it. Sorry about your Z it was beautiful . Glad you're okay though.

Looks like your front frame rail is damaged. The insurance company will salvage your car. Glad your ok.

LMAO I will part out the car but I really need to know what steps I need to take to get it done. Do I need to buy the car from the insurance company and part it out? Or do I just sell the parts and replace them with stock parts.

It was around 8:30 pm. My buddy and I went up to take pics with the cars and we were coming down slow because he had no gas.

Wow...Glad to hear you are O.K., Could have been much worse... I think I would have **** myself bouncing off the side of the Mountain, going down hill at 5,000 feet and feeling the rear of the car going airborne..Damn !

I also can't see them trying to fix it, frame has to be bent and with all that front end damage,, you should be getting a nice check,, Happy shopping, Glad you were not hurt....

Best advise I could give is, get it to a body shop you know, trust,, they will guide you Hopefully you have a friend in the bussiness...
Do you know when the adjuster is showing up,, in NY they are running like a week behind, plenty of time to swap back to stock

You don't want to "swap back to stock." Insurance, usually, covers any parts that are bolted onto the car. The more "bolted on" parts, the more $$. Plus, they may give you replacement value for the parts rather than used value.

I hope you're right because that V2 is expensive, plus that gruppe-m intake is hella expensive. lol
