If you can, try to talk your shop into allowing you to buy the parts (at least the ones that you can like a trunklid/taillight/bumper) you will save more money and have what you want... regular lancer tails are like 150per... I coulda gotten RRM tails for 169 a pair.... just some FYI so maybe you can get a CF trunklid and MR tails or something different!

yeah the other insurance will cover it... just make sure they cover your rent-a-car too... most insurances will cover up to one month... but like I said... talk to your body shop and see if they would be willing to allow you to get alternate parts
