Uh, right...We're talking insurance companies here, not best friends. Show me an insurance company that will act in this manner and I'll show you pigs that fly.

Who knows? OEM bumper bought, painted, and installed is approx $600-700. The exhaust is approx $300. So 2k or so is well within reason.

3k nah, for the G, this is gonna be a 5k deal...think bumper, painting, exhaust system, frame damage, (all cars have crumple zones now), tail lights, and actual body shop costs for repair time. Better to just have insuarance taking care of it, plus his prelude is all smashed up, so it's gonna be a big one. The exhaust is not $300, you're looking at replacing pipes, all the way up, a hit like that will crack welds and you have to replace most of the system. I wouldn't let the just replace the tips.

The hissing from the exhausts is from the pipe or the tips being bent. Nothing serious. Thats jus what happens to the sound.

Haha, I didn't consider the fact that my car is a lease. This means I wouldn't be able to get money for the devaluing of my car, and i won't be able to get aftermarket parts.. Great!
