Be sure and get an alignment when you take the car back. If all 4 wheels aren't alignable, your frame is still bent and I wouldn't close the insurance claim.

Wow Benny! Crazy drivers around DC for sure! Ask me how I know! Someone did almost the same thing to my 07 M45 with 600 miles on it. Sorry to see that damage to your car and hope they did/do a good job. The one thing that I see that really is unbelievable, they didn't close the windows and tape off the interior with plastic for all that dust! Throwing the parts in your back seat? WTF? You are a better man than me. Get as much of that dust out of everything, they won't, it will look clean but that stuff permeates into everything, especially the AC ducts, headliner and fabric. Air compressor and shop vac the hell out of it! Try not to run the AC fan until you do. They taped off everything in my car and I still smelled that crap for a month.

Very happy with the work the shop did it took a looooong time to get repaired but they perfected the job which I appreciate. Right now I just put in weather tech Matt’s,led fog lights, car was prewired with amp kit so I’m installing a JL 8 inch that I had in the basement with a small kicker 250.1 amp. Lastly I have the led foot sills but need help in wiring them anyone can chime in and help with that?
