Sorry for the delay, total repair costs came out to be $6,128. All is well, looks as good as ever. All parts were replaced with new Factory Chevy parts, no aftermarket stuff. Really weird, because in SC, anything within 75% of vehicle value is considered a total loss, and everything I pulled up had my car valued at $8,145 (in excellent condition = 101,000 miles) which equals out to 6,108 for a total loss, but I decided not to fight it and just get my car back. Had to take it back to the shop once to fix a run in the paint, but they did a good job repairing it. Front half of my car looks brand new...

Damaged/Replaced:
Hood, front Windshield, Grille, Bumper, Both Fenders, Both Front Doors, Radiator, Throttle Body, Air Box, and a bunch of miscellaneous parts. I've got the full report filed away, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Glad to hear you got it back, sadly you almost tied my damage amount from December when Mr. DUI hit me, that ran to $6,243.26.

Couldn't see much last night, but this morning I was able to see the radiator pushed back on top of the engine. Got to wait until insurance man comes out before the body shop can pull the hood off to see just how bad it is....


I can relate to the feeling: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/problems-service-repairs-42/our-new-used-blue-hhr-ls-42934/

Ok, I think I'm with a few others here, post your damage in ONE THREAD! So far you have jacked every problem thread about yours, I know you are new but come on this was from January! But just in-case you still don't get it. Hhrnole posted a thread about three months ago about a bear attack, have you hit that one yet? Seriously man, people will look and comment/not comment if they want. This is not a freaking popularity contest.
