Those pictures kinda suck, so it's hard to tell if you need new quarters.
My guess is you don't.
Also, I can't understand why you think your frame rails would be wacked...
Your sheet metal isn't all that hurt and you could have the whole rear end assembly ripped off the car and it wouldn't affect the rails...
Hopefully, you have a good shop to deal with all this.

Most likely, there will be a supplement but it doesn't certify a total loss.
I hope that the idiot that wreck you isn't with GEICO.
They're a PITA to deal with and they will try to rip you off.

this is a great example of why you need to have your car towed to a deserted lot, and then rolled. That way you make SURE it gets totaled.
From those crappy pics it just doesn't look bad enough. That's what you get for taking good care of your Mustang.
And don't go thinking they will replace those aftermarket rims.
Whose insurance is paying?

red beast, what was your damage estimate??
its a hit or mis. really, but more concern that the dollar amount of the damage is the SAFETY!!
IT IS A CONVERTIBLE, AND I DONT RLY FEEL SAFE FIXING THIS
like i said im friends with the owner of my shop, he will do his best i guess

basically when i first took it in it was estimated at 6500 in damage, then later i took it back for another problem, and that was another 500, then i took it back for another, and it was 1200, then again for another repair for 200... then i took it back again for additional problems and they repeadiatley told me that they wouldnt fix it because they werent convinced it was related to the accident and i would have to pay for it out of my own pocket. since i modified it the shop said they would do there best to keep it from being totaled, not sure if they really did anything or not, but she did survive.

From the pics it look like minor cosmetic damage to the body, the rear end is sitting on the ground probably from the rear tires being flat AND sitting in a hole compared to the driveway. These cars are tougher than you think and it takes a hell of a lot to bend one, I knocked a concrete light pole down with mine and didnt bent the frame.
