Undershroud, engine cradle, catalytic converter, gas tank, rear suspension bits, and exhaust. Repairs will begin mid-August probably

Most likely. But there's more work to be done, and they will cover 100% of the difference. There's one undershroud part he couldn't find, and I now that I look closer I don't see a line item for the cat. The final check was actually made out for $3100. It was less than I quoted earlier because of the $500 deductible that was applied. But I'm sure they'll end up writing another check in the end.

I'll be getting multiple quotes for the work, just to verify the pricing. And I have to get quotes for the new aftermarket items if they exceed the value of the OEM part like my Fast Intentions exhaust.

that's good that they'll cover the aftermarket stuff.. i know insurance here wouldn't, unless you got insured for aftermarket parts

The base plan is actually up to $1500 per aftermarket part without any additional coverage. The exhaust invoice I just paid was $1559 shipped

I'll probably be increasing the aftermarket coverage as I add/replace parts.

Plumber coming today so sticking around home.
And being a cold rainy day working in the garage sounds like a good idea. Think I'll tackle that RJM clutch..

With the front seat out, it is a pretty easy install

That was my plan, but may be rethinking the pedal for today - or at least for the moment. I've got the new pup outside so he won't be in the plumbers way, and raining means he's in the garage with me. Laying on my back in the car with a super playful puppy jumping all over my stomach as I'm trying to work doesn't sound like the most fun thing to do. Hopefully the rain lets up soon and I can put him in the yard instead.

Don't want him jumping in the car either. He's not housebroken yet lol

2016 Nismo front and rear bumpers on a Base?

I'm kinda digging these bumpers, and in MB the bit-over-the-top styling is more subdued. None of the red stripes though.

CZP is actually pretty darn reasonable for the OEM pieces. Don't think I'd do it right now, but putting together my winter projects list and collecting parts.

Also strongly considering Stillen supercharger. AAM TT was what I'd originally thought but thinking SC may be the better way to go for me, with a smaller pulley to correct for my 3800' altitude - and up for the mountain twisties

These garage days playing on the Internet can get expensive lol

Stillen SC + Topgunz A2A conversion kit

Of course, that's only if you don't get Fast Intentions' TT kit
