hey guys i know most of u havent seen me for a day but baby had a bad day on Nov 01 2014 Well when i went on vac to Fl a piece of retread hit bady on the middle of the bumber and tore the bumber and radiator support off. so it cracked the bootom vends on the radaitor now for the bad news some how when it was sitting in FL for weeks waiting on USAA to pay the tow and storage so i can pick up my car, i got it back to NCand was lookin at it the engine wont turn and worn turn by the crank case was turn in FL day after the hit. Now hears the kicker USAA saids it total with 10K of damage but had a body shop i trust here said for 6700 without full paint job 8700 with so now it not total cuase it under the 80% of 12K but have to wait for the review board to approve the new findings
OK thats enough of the back drop i found a completly rebuild engine all new parts polish like new for 2100 plus 395 core from AAA Engine Warehouse Chatsworth, California i need input for a very good not insane radiator that better the that plastic OEM one the bodyshop got the rest cover. thanks for any input

 

Here's some pics of the damage of my 04 G35

 

that's 10k worth of damage?!

 

I dont see how this is 10k of damage. Nor do I see how this ended up damaging your engine. I smell an insurance scam lol

 

i know im sorry i put this in the wrong place thought it was in mine old post place g35 couple 2003-07 think i have to move this some how or close this one and open it there
but over 1k was the front crossmember with is where the engine mounts sit the estimator said was bad it the one behind the oil pan and mine is made of steel not alloy like the newer g's are. my body shop said there is no marker and nothing wrong with it

 

you definitely do not need a full respray. just the front bumper and a good shop should be able to blend the paint to match just fine

 

what u dont see is the clear coat peeled off the roof when it was sitting in FL for a month

 

Can't be 10k in damage bro

 

i know and my body shop knows but USAA still saying they might be hidden damages which there is not
