Good news is only super light damage to the very back end cap of the frame. Said it looked like a small hammer ding. Otherwise it's all cosmetic, and according to him all is going well so far. Since I don't "need" the car, we are taking the time to do it all properly, no rushing.
Thinking when I'm done with this I might try to add more for customization, but I'm not sure they will do that. I have over $4000 in mods I've done.
Definitely upping the wife's Pontiac Solstice to OEM.

Glad you are okay.. As others mentioned life over worldly things.
12K? That's quite high.. I wonder if the insurance would consider it totaled considering it could be almost half of the car value? That has happened to me where the damage of the car was almost half of the car value and they just wrote me a check. I think Geico allows to add custom aftermarket parts to be added to your policy.
Best of luck with the repairs!
