I went to the bodyshop today and got some pictures of the 'stang.
Everything will be replaced with Ford OEM stuff. Unfortunately, they don't do any custom work, so no stripes.
If I get a new rear wing, they'll paint it for me, but I have to install it. Same with window louvers and bodyside scoops.
BUT... if the GT/CS front bumper is a direct replacement, they'll use that instead of the stock one. And they'll install a Shelby hood instead of the stock one, provided I cover the difference in cost.
Just as a reference, this is the hood and front bumper combination I'm wanting:
Tomorrow, they tear down the car and do the estimate.

Dude I know you feel sad about this but you're car will make it and be even better. Cheer up man
It must really stink. You barely bought the car (I saw your thread) and now it's wrecked.

How'd you like the smell of that airbag after it went off? Nasty, isn't it?
That doesn't look too bad, not nearly as bad as mine did. I might've still been doing 25-30 when I hit, with all the damage it sustained.
Hopefully you can get her back all better soon, and fixed up the way you want her.
My GF liked the fact it was pink. She likes almost anything pink though. I told her NO to painting my new Mustang pink though.

this reminds me of the accident i was in.
basically the same areas of damage just worse, but with no frame damage. it doesnt appear the damage to be to far back, mine was to the radiator. so i ordered PWR's aftermarket one just for the hell of it and for down the line. then just put the parts back on.
it wont change anything if ur ok, mine runs like new and with a free strut bar even better!!
