Unhappy Just got into a car accident.... pics inside

Happen around 5:30 today....

i'll leave the details out

just want to know if the insurence company will replace my exhaust etc.
got hit so hard the spare basicly jumped out scared...
exhaust is was also melting into my rear tire....
also posting this to let some steam out















what happens to my wheels is that covered or should be covered correct, also my exhaust? and thennn would they put a new rear lip because i have a front lip?

not the best not..... my babys hurt

i doubt you will get your aftermarket parts covered. you will just get your parts back to stock. be sure to find a good reputable shop.

I know a GREAT shop in City of Industry that will get your aftermarket parts. For my last fender bender that I milked, I got brand new tires, two new wheels out of it in the end. Most of the time OEM parts cost more than the aftermarkets. PM me if you're interested. The shop is off the 60 freeway and Azusa exit. Hopefully you're local, if not sorry.

They won't cover aftermarket parts, but when you go to the body shop, you can tell them you want these product instead of the stock ones. But sometimes, you'll need to know someone from that body shop.
