You can always ask your shop to solicit your insurance carrier to become certified as well.

Damn. Well luckily my shop is very flexible about this stuff. I dont know how well they do in handling insurance claims but hopefully they know how to deal with them correctly.
They are willing to defs work with me on letting me source the parts needed, I know that much is for sure.
I also know that they are willing to do the repairs and afe capable of doing an excellent job as well.

The only thing they dont do is stitching of seats cloth or airbag replacement setups that I know of.

Anyth mechanical I trust them on.
And they have taken care of me very well so far.

I am glad the only thing that was hurt was your pride for the most part and that everything else works out the way you want it too.

When it comes to the airbag, do it right. Don't halfass it or just leave it out. Next time it could save your life.

If you do not replace them then add a good six point roll bar. Again don't cheap out on it.

You have a point there.
I will definitely put a replacement passenger seat with an unused airbag. And Ill see what I can do about the side airbag or a roll cage, whichever is cheaper

Cheap shouldn't be a consideration. You've dropped a LOT of money on go-fast parts. Keeping your *** alive shouldn't be where you shop based on price. A cage sounds like a good idea, but do you want to drive around with a helmet all the time? Hit your head on one of those bars in a fender bender and you could end up a vegetable.

Ok nope. You got me.
Ill go replace all the airbags, I think I may know someone who can do it right too.
Just waiting for the phonecall to occur from the adjuster.

Who knows I might just decide to part it out or better yet sell the entire car to someone who may want it as a whole, and buy a diff car, keep it stock just work on the cosmetics haha
