My insurance company informed me that they will be paying for the repairs and I will be charged nothing. They, in turn, will recover the money from the guy who hit me's insurance company. The body shop said I might get my Ex back Friday. Fingers crossed.

Got the Ex back today. :biggthump

I am really happy with the way it turned out, with 1 exception. The right rear wheel trim was torn away from the body at the very back as a result of the accident and it looks like they tried to glue it back in place instead of properly fastening it with the connectors. I noticed this when I got it home and was taking some pics. You can see it in the last pic. I will be bringing it back down tomorrow to get it sorted.

Enough of the blabbering, let get on to the pics. These are cell phone pics and the sun was fading. I'll get better pics tomorrow. The bumper cover and associated parts were replaced:

First off glad you are ok also! I cannot tell from the pics re: trim, but I Hate it when body shops try to half-arse things. They may have charged the insurance company to repair or replace the trim. But, regardless they need to make it right.

 

[BigRondo]

Thanks! Yeah it's just more of a PITA, but I need my truck fixed correctly. I will post the results.

Glad to see you got it back relatively quick. Hopefully they will sort it out and fix your issue without giving you a hard time.

 

[BigRondo]

Fingers crossed.

Thanks. He did get a nice hole in his radiator. It looked like Old Faithful @ Yellowstone. You are right, it would have been a lot worse if I had the trailer hitch in.

I had my 3 point hitch in when I was rear ended, MAN you should have seen their vehicle! LMAO!

Trailer hitch - 2
Chevy Cars - 0

I'm waiting for the picture with a hay spear.

How about retractable spinning sawblades like the original Speed Racer cartoon series had?

Not sure if I missed the outcome, did they fix the trim issue?
