Even if they do not total this car you should fix it up and sell it asap.
Definetly has frame damage.
If you can find someone who is great at fixing up frames then keep it.
(Not too many people around)
Sucks but hey at least u weren't driving it!
Insurance should be helping you out.

im just so anxious to see and feel the final results of this repair... hopfully ill have some extra cash in the end for some new mods if i keep the car

ts-c63 · 09-18-2012, 01:27 PM

So my car just got painted yesterday! I went to go check it out today and all i have to say is wow! they basically repainted the entire car expect the hood. I was a little nervous since ive heard pearl white is a super hard paint job to perfect, but the painters at the shop had no problem with it. Here are a coupe iphone of pics of the car right out of the booth. I cant wait to see it polished and detailed. Im so extied to get back into my Z soon!!!

nice

Might be a dumb question: If they didn't put a clear coat would that classify as a matte paint, or are matte paints (such as the new Hyundai Veloster) made to be more durable since it is designed to be applied without clearcoat?
