i just took a visit to the body shop and sure enough with their tare down they found more damage. They found that my soft top have a slight rip in it, my drivers side headlight has a broken tab, it needs complete passanger side suspension components, rear fender frame sure enough has damage. So from what he showed my the damage should climb to at least $7500. He told my how all state decides weather or not to total a car. They go by nada's clean retail value which says my car is worth at least 14000 which is a tad high. So in order to total my car they need to assess a total of about $11500-$12000 worth of damage which my car wont come close to. On a good note im getting a new ap2 rear bumper cover, new soft top, new driver side headlight out of all this as well as all the other things they are fixing

you should insist on factory replacement parts......
he'll be lucky if he gets the shop of his choice. Insurance have to pay more for OEM. Speaking of which, I don't think the shop was his choosing either.

Is this the same person that said he'll park the car indoor? But either way, most of the repair are body structures, so they'll have to use OEM parts anyways. So you should be good.
