Damn okay. Well only like 6 or less hours left or so before I hear back from the adjuster, I really think he will say total it ... if so then I will punch him in the face and tell him to rethink that lol. Jk I won't do that lol just in my head...xD

Ill try my best to see if he can work with both more and the shop to come up with aviable plan top keep the vehicle And if so, what are the conditions.

Keep you guys posted!!

Fingers crossed.

More than likely your car will be totaled. If so, make sure you get the car back so you can part it out or move everything from it to a newer Z. I am not sure what you did to loose it but you have put yourself in a major bind.

maybe. if they want to total it then they will pay me out for it? and i can buy it back ?
unless it's cheaper to just keep it and decline the totaling, and just buy the necessary repair items, and have my mechanic shop out it back together, while just leaving or the side curtain airbag and just switching it back up, maybe I could be okay..?

Or they offer me a lump of money to fix it and if it's within their amount then maybe...?xD

If they don't total it they should give you a choice between a preferred or certified shop or a shop of your choosing to do the work. Most insurance companies will pay for those exterior parts that were on the car before the accident and oem for everything else. The shop send them a parts list with cost associated with it and then they cut you a check. Certified shops have a set labor price that they charge the insurance company. You can always ask your shop to solicit your insurance carrier to become certified as well.

Damn. Well luckily my shop is very flexible about this stuff. I dont know how well they do in handling insurance claims but hopefully they know how to deal with them correctly.
They are willing to defs work with me on letting me source the parts needed, I know that much is for sure.
I also know that they are willing to do the repairs and afe capable of doing an excellent job as well.

The only thing they dont do is stitching of seats cloth or airbag replacement setups that I know of.

Anyth mechanical I trust them on.
And they have taken care of me very well so far.

I am glad the only thing that was hurt was your pride for the most part and that everything else works out the way you want it too.

When it comes to the airbag, do it right. Don't halfass it or just leave it out. Next time it could save your life.

If you do not replace them then add a good six point roll bar. Again don't cheap out on it.

You have a point there.
I will definitely put a replacement passenger seat with an unused airbag. And Ill see what I can do about the side airbag or a roll cage, whichever is cheaper

Cheap shouldn't be a consideration. You've dropped a LOT of money on go-fast parts. Keeping your *** alive shouldn't be where you shop based on price. A cage sounds like a good idea, but do you want to drive around with a helmet all the time? Hit your head on one of those bars in a fender bender and you could end up a vegetable.

Ok nope. You got me.
Ill go replace all the airbags, I think I may know someone who can do it right too.
Just waiting for the phonecall to occur from the adjuster.

Who knows I might just decide to part it out or better yet sell the entire car to someone who may want it as a whole, and buy a diff car, keep it stock just work on the cosmetics haha

I bought a RPM 4 point roll bar not to long after boosting my car just have the extra protection. They also make a 6 point that doesn't include the front bar that Chuck is talking about and is why I suggested a 6 point. I suggest that anyone that is boosted get at least a good 4 point roll bar because upside down is no good period.

You were pretty smart about how you went about building your car, now go after keeping yourself safe in the same way. We aren't hating on you just trying to support you in saying safe while enjoying your creation.

Something like that would be a good option. I just see too many people put full cages in their cars without giving a thought to what the front hoop would do to their skull if the two met at speed.
