accedent damage
hey guys i rolled my evo into a ditch the other day (long story dont ask) well anyways the whole roof is collapsed in, the two passenger doors are screwed up the rear bumper and all 4 lights are jacked up with the fenders 2 wheels hood, front and rear control arms, and front bumper are all messed up and shattered windshield along with a few other things i cant think of right now. this is on an 05 evo VIII but i was wondering, the insurance company estimated that the repair costs would only be $7600 which i find unbelieveable, has anyone been in this situation or experianced this before. i would have guessed repairs to be more close to 15k and i dont want to get jipped by the insurance company and get crappy parts so let me know what you think. ps ill try to post pics when i get them.

If the A-Pillars arent bent this might be realistic. I really dont see how though if you rolled it.
good thing you are alive though!.
But I really dont see how it can only total 7600 my friend did that running through a fence and just trashing his front end. Headlights and everything were almost 2k!

get your car towed to the closest dealership.... they will give you a bill that the insurance company will $hit their pants over... theres no way thats all your car is going to need to get fixed... no offence man.
I just got my car rear ended and they said its going to be about 12,5XX to fix.
I would take that money and get a CF hood, CF trunk, JDM bumpers... the whole nine. Might as well if you have to replace.

of course the wing survived. yah it was wet outside and i was going the speed limit and everything. there was a problem with my master cylender that had been around since my last accedent and at that point in the rain the brakes died on me and the car just kinda slid off the road. i was going like 2mph when i hit the mud and the car slowly rolled over into a ditch. my insurance didnt go up and i didnt get cited or anything because i didnt do anything wrong, the car was screwed up and all of the repair is getting completely covered. i dont even have to pay a deductable. it was way scary tho. the suprising thing is that i didnt even have a scratch on me i just kinda got out of the car and was fine.

read the estimate carefully , some shaddy places will use base (i.e. normal lancer) estimate to cheat the insurance co. to approvefixing it , then they will claim ur car has 'special' package and skyrocketing the parts price more than ur car worth.
This happended to me before with another car , the costs to fix on quote is $22k and it ended up charged insurance co. as $27k
