Am I close?

Pretty close. They are replacing the hub cap and fender completely. Then blending the door and hood since the 1/4 panel is wide. The headlight is getting replaced, but the scratches could be buffed out...I plan on taking off the HL before they get it (the tabs aren't broken or anything...this way I'll have a spare for whatever reason ). They are going to check the front-end alignment as well. Otherwise, that's pretty much it.

Make sure they do a 4 wheel alignment. The rear is adjustable and should be checked/compared. Definitley keep the light.

Are they using any used (LKQ/Salvage) or Aftermarket parts?
What Insurance company is paying the claim?
You're not planning on going to one of their "Preferred" "Direct Repair Shops" are you???

[mhadden]

No, I'm not going to one of their insurance shops...they have rediculous stipulations on that anyways (only 2 hours a day at places more than 40 miles from my house AND work). They are going to order genuine Honda parts since the car is so new (4 months and 19k miles!). Insurance company is a crappy online company, Universal Casualty
