2. Window tint
3. Pilot Super Sports -- there's tons of tread left on them.

I can't replace these parts back to stock because I do not have OEM stuff. Even buying crappy aftermarket struts and shocks won't work because there are none I can find.

So, my insurance company is USAA and they are good in this process so far. We'll see how this works out. I own the car outright (I paid cash for it) so, I'll get the bucks (probably a transfer to one of my USAA accounts).
