Thanks for the info. I've always heard different opinions on having to inspect in the county it's registered in. Let me know what the guy says.

Pat that definitely sucks Bro.

Was there any surveillance cameras in the parking lot from any businesses there ?

Would be worth checking on.

Now you can at least get a new front bumper and 06 lights !

wrap it in bubble bubble wrap.....

well i just got a call from the place that guys insurance company uses to go over the estimates from the shop... they wanted me to email pics to them. she did inform me that usually the insurance doesnt move forward with repairs til they get the pics and go over the estimate. so hopefully in the near future it will start getting fixed

I dropped mine off at the shop today and picked up my rental car. Insurance is currently covering it under my uninsured motorist coverage which cut my deductible in half.

This could be a blessing in disguise Pat. The body shop will wash your car for you.

Why do you need to pay out of your own pocket? What shop is this you're talking to? I'd be suspicious of body shops buffing anything. Body shops are crappy at detailing/buffing vehicles. When I got my car they "buffed" my car. Well all they did was leave buffer trails on the entire vehicle.

just painting the handles and the buffing, since that is part of the damage from the wreck... but now you have me worried about it.. i am taking it to grapevine collision (who grapevine nissan uses). i just dont want part of the car to have fresh new paint and the other parts have the fine scratches it has now, wanted it to come back to me all pretty

Im glad everyone is getting their rigs fixed... My truck was also in a bit of a fender bender... A bad enough one to make the insurance total out my truck.. But Im keeping it and running with the money (to fix my truck better than evar!)..

This will be the biggest project Ive done since I took the engine out of the Z.. Parts will be ordered soon - the rebirth of the Titan will begin..

Jake, sorry to hear about your fender bender also.

Sounds like your gonna get your way with the Insurance company and get it back together yourself....way to go !

Hopefully it won't take you too long to repair everything.
