RE: Accident...
Dude, you don't have to haggle with the insurance at all. Just have them pay the body shop what it would cast anyway, and have the body shop get the new parts. Chances are that what they will pay for Ford OEM replacement parts will be more than a couple of aftermarket parts that you really want. I wrecked my 96 Cobra once, and because I had the use aftermarket parts instead of Ford OEM replacement's, I not only didn't have to pay my deductible, but the body shop cut me a check for the difference. It's between you and the shop, not the insurance company.

Yea, but its too late now, the thing is, is that the actual insurance agent that quoted (geico) my car has a office inside the shop my car is getting worked on, plus i called them 4 hours after having my car there and they already had my new parts and were painting them!!!
