Ive never had to have my exhaust covered under warrenty so Im not sure but dont insurance companies cover whats on the car when in an accident? Or do you have to tell them your mods and have them adjust the coverage?

Insurance companies CAN balk about aftermarket parts. But, you can usually get them to do it, if you just keep on holding back on signing that check/agreement.

Some dealers will work with you on accident claims - adjusters never get it right, and dealers can pad numbers or not swap parts and give you the rest to cover your deductible or you can swap out items on the list for replacement with aftermarket.

UPDATE!

I got the car back late last night and I must say ARTCRAFT did such an amazing job with everything!!! The paint matches perfectly and they painted my rear emblem satin black to match the rear center section of the bumper for free

however the insurance company has not replaced the exhaust which with the new bumper shows how off the exhaust is... And I still can hear the broken baffle in the exaust too. Jeff heard it last night with me and agrees they need to replace it. I will have pics up soon

semtex · 11-05-2009, 10:32 AM

Awesome, Mike. Any update on whether or not they caught the douchebag?

bullitt5897 · 11-05-2009, 10:40 AM

no catchy of the douchebag that I know of... and frankly I am just glad i got my baby back! If I see him I am gonna follow him at a distance and call the cops hehe sneak attack like a freaking NINJA! Im not going to waste my time hunting down this a**hole because he isnt worth my time!

bullitt5897 · 11-05-2009, 10:46 AM

^^^ very true! I had ARTCRAFT not install the 370z emblem and not to replace an inner panel that had broken tabs and they gave me some serious money back

my deductible is normally $250 and I only had to pay $46.93

I love my sponsors they treat me good

bullitt5897 · 11-05-2009, 10:52 AM

Alright I will do that... I have a buddy in the service department hehe maybe slip him a $20 to give me a good estimate

hehehe
