result of damage from my collision

basically, what i want to accomplish with this thread get some advice on what type of damage I can say to get the most out of my insurance company. its a great excuse for upgrades instead of repairs =P

so far, heres what i've come up with

Nismo bumper [insurance 1280+labor] / Tony from Riverside can offer me a new one 900ish shipped. woot, gained some $$

Headlight housing is shaky [insurance offers to fix it] / no gain from here...

Top right fender near the hood [insurance offers to fix only] / no gain yet agian..

Bottom left fender near headlight [insurance offers possible repaint]

Rattling windows both driver and passenger [insurance offers to fix, but dunno about tint]

Hood is damaged a little in the front tip [ insurance offers to fix, but might replace, dunno about the $$] / I want a new CF hood =)



then theres alot of non visual problems like : squeaky suspension, damaged gas shocks, some rattling in the cabin, and other stuff.

waiting to take it to a autobody to get a better estimate and have them talk to my insurance company.

any advice on what else i can look for would be great =)

ohh yeah, and a good place to go to to get this estimate would be nice. not sure if MACHIII does them, might have to call tomorrow

 

i had my bumper and rear quarter panels repaired by willam in san mateo. he does excellent work and his pricing is very fair. "nitrouz" on my350z.com referred him. good luck.
