They can't force that. The only time they push used or aftermarket parts is when the repairs are very close to the total limit. It doesn't sound like yours is anywhere near the amount. Tell the insurance you won't accept it. When I get home I'll try to post up a form we give to our customers that explains what the insurance can and can't do. Just like they can't force you to get 3 estimates, and they can't force you to go to a shop that they choose, which is illegal.

Hell yeah dude, dont accept that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You DONT have to accept used parts on a brand new car!!!!!!! Ask that F-head to send youa copy of the insurance regulations in your state, that they are required to do when you file a claim!!!!!! What a D-head!!!!!

I agree 100%............FIGHT THAT FOR SURE!!

I was at the body shop today and they had the regulations on the wall. I was lucky only 3500 in damage so far.

Take your car to a shop that will tell the insurance company they can't find any referb or aftermarket parts for your car. They tried that when some guy hit my volvo and my body shop put an end to that.

good thing about these new cars is they look worse all messed up than they really are, all plastic man! glad you are okay! itll be back on the road lookin good as new in no time! get the 68 gt500 kr hood! thtas what i wanna do!
actually the only thing that was really plastic was the front bumper...hood and fender was aluminum
The fenders on my 2007 GT are steel.
