Cake thanks for the itemized list, greatly appreciate. I was just doing some searching on ebay also. There is a tuft hair wedged into the front hood area, yea didnt even think about that no blood at all. But there is some yellow **** on the driver door, not sure if the deer pissed himself in his last seconds alive? Just waxed it also. Weird.

As time passes by and I hear the posts and look around some more I think it is inevitable that the insurance will total this car. If it weren't for the f'kin air bags gettnng deployed this car would have a fighting chance against "the man". I have seen a car on Ebay motors that looks like its in better shape and its being sold with a salvage title. It pains me to say that this seems to be the imminent future for my saddle. Just to be listed on some seedy ebay salvage auction. I guess it all depends on my fire to see if I can go out on my own and rebuild it feasibly. Will post engine pics tomorrow...to be continued.

I'm sure if you ask a mod (by PM) they could move it over for you. If you can't get a hold of one, you could start a new one over there I guess. I just think you'll get 10X the input there.

So just spoke with insurance and gave them the big ticket items on the phone and they said they were not going to total. Now that can all change if the shop opens her up and finds some serious damage inside her I guess.
I dont want to bring to there shop to asses, I am bringing to a known infiniti shop close by. Will keep posted. I may ask him about possibly using some used parts I can acquire to $ave some money.
Cake what is the big downfall using those chaper parts on ebay such as hood and fender? Will they look screwed up or something?

Also worth noting that I think i learned quarter panel is the rear side panel and fender is the front side panel...

Where is everyone getting the "if airbags deploy car is totaled" from? That is so incorrect. OP it sounds like you want them to say it's totaled but you're not sure lol. If it's paid for you'll get what the car was worth before the accident, but then you'll have to go car shopping and aint nuttn cheap out there. GL

Usually when multiple airbags deploy on a ~12k car and its coupled with other damage, yes it will total the car out. Especially when multiple body panels are damaged, needs headlights and parts under the hood, it will add up quickly.
We will see what happens when the body shop estimates come around. I say it will be very close to 50% value of the car.
