Smashed my Z

Boomer370

@ OP

Sorry to hear about you crash.

The roads are slippery now, and everyone that is driving their Z in the winter should take extra care.

I think I remember you, are you the White 370 with Stillen front or Blue 370z drop top?

That being said.

It all depends on your deductible. How much do you need to fork out?

Personally, in the past, I had to fight the insurance company to make sure that they used Genuine OEM parts that go into my car.

Insurance companies do have partners with autobody shops, but they still use after market parts for your vehicle. It's cheaper for them.

If you are doing this on your own, they are going to require a quotes and usually choose the lowest bidder. So you can work with the autobody shop of your choice and figure out the parts you want.

Either way, prepare yourself for a fight with the insurance company.

Fight for the parts you want, and get quotes and pricing, and whatever you can to back it up.

All the best of luck OP.
Let us know how it turns out.
