Default Another one bites the dust

My heart is in shambles as is the front end of this car.

So I just got into a little accident here. It had rained, leave for work and for some reason I totally disregarded that it had rained. I take a spirited entry into an on ramp as I usually do (when its dry).The rear end slides out from under me and off I go into a guard rail. Ouch! And here you have it:






Shes still running thank god.

With that said, does anyone have any recommendations on body shops? Possibly shops that will allow me to throw in a few aftermarket pieces of my choice?

Keep in mind I have allstate insurance. I hear they don't pay for oem parts, but rather aftermarket/refurbished parts

Thanks everyone

Kuhn Collision, on N Florida Ave. Mickey E. is the manager. BTW, there are no aftermarket body panels to my knowledge, there are not enough S2000 for it to be worthwhile.... 813-229-8608

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Is it possible to have any of these shops agree to put on ap2 bumpers/headlights instead of ap1?

Not true about the OEM parts, you can require Allstate to use ALL OEM parts.

More than stupidity, more than alcohol, more than excess speed - rain kills these cars. Good luck man.
