Got My Car Back

Took $25k of insurance money and two months in the shop but it's done.

Initial problems I noted were a faulty ABS sensor and the tailplate light is not attached.

Also, the stereo system was not put together as well as I would have hoped but its as much my fault as I put in a Kenwood DDX812, and the power wiring for navigation and the wire connection for the steering wheel controls was a little different. Of course it turns out both JL amps were damaged in the accident and of course I don't have additional coverage for them.

I have therefore decided to replace the 1000/1 and 450/4 with HD750/1 and HD600/4 and go through the insurance of the girl who hit me to recoup that cost rather than my own insurance company.

Interior and exterior pics of what looks like a brand new car will be up shortly.

$16k for the accident, $9k for the damaged interior when the tow driver threw my bumper cover through my shatterd rear window.

Same incident, separate claims, no total loss.
