If anyone remembers a few months back i crashed my GT350R. I recently got the car completely finished. At first the car was done in mid June but when i went to change the wheels/tires i noticed A LOT of damage on the three brake calipers that weren't replaced so after a bit of back and forth between my body shop and insurance (3 weeks worth) they finally replaced the remaining calipers which added an extra $1300 to the estimate. This was the highest repair my body shop has ever done and we were both surprised All State decided to do the repair with an original estimate of 41k. They told me at 44k the car would be totaled which as you can see went well beyond that figure. I am happy its fixed but at the same time if it were to have been totaled i would have made profit of about 1500 with what they would have paid me for the car after deductible. Here was the total when done before the remaining calipers were also replaced for 1300 and change. I also added all the part numbers and the cost for each one.
I also kept most of the parts that came off the car I currently have all 4 brake calipers, The full cat back exaust, both of the broken wheels, and also some useless stuff im going to throw away like the fender and gas tank. The calipers had a deductible of $50 each and everything else was free to keep. Also the exaust is in amazing condition it just has a minor dent on it the size of a couple quarters.

Hello everyone this is my first thread and its a sad one unfortunately. On Friday the 13th i was passing a truck and lost control when i went to merge back into my lane. Lets just say cup2's plus even mild dampness is incredibly unsafe. Tires had just over 2500 miles on them with very normal driving. I recorded getting the car out of the ditch and if anyone wants to watch here is the link.
