Thanks everyone! I'm currently out of town for business but I'm so anxious to get back and drive my baby!

I'm thinking of at least putting the hash marks back on the vehicle but this look is growing on me.

For reference, the total bill of repair was about $13,500. Most expensive part was the rear fiberglass tub replacement which included having the "halo" replaced as well.

I'm shocked they didn't total it. What did they value it at? Most ins co will total at 75% max repair bill. They must have valued it > $ 18,000

I was quite shocked as well, considering they include sales tax of a new vehicle of similar cost etc I think it was valued just below that price.
