Well unfortunately a car hit my front end. My question is, how did you guys approach the jdm front end with the insurance. Did the insurnace company pay for it all or did you have to pay an extra amount. If so, how much extra did you pay? My insurance policy is a $1000 deductable and the insurance company pays the body shop directly. Thank you for your posts in advanced

 

i wound up paying the difference out of pocket but this was also when you couldn't get a jdm conversion under 2k

 

ANyone else? how did you deal with the insurance companies/body shops to get your front endS?

 

Some insurance companies cut the check directly to you. See if that is an option, if so, that will be the most convenient way.

 

The first time I had to pay some extra out of pocket, the damage to my car was not too severe. Insurance basically paid for the paint and install of the front end, and some spoon mirrors. The front end I paid out of pocket. And also back then, JDM fronts were still around $2500-3000. I recommend taking it to a shop where you are cool with the owner, makes things a lot easier. You basically need around 3400 for the front end, install, and paint, and then however much more it costs to repair anything else that was damaged.

try to get a check from the insurance company
and u should ask the body shop if they charge if you supply the parts because some of them do since that is where they make some of their money

 

yea like everyone else said get the cheque from ins. but then, the parts are expensive, especially the jdm stock HID headlight..

 

JDM front end is sick, anyone wanna hit my front end?
