Arn't those tails againt the law? My X had them and he had somthing said to him by a cop. I would take them off just for the sake of if they were you dont want to have to fight that fact. I am really sorry dude! That sucks bad! I actually loved it. Wish I had of had the money to grab it from you!! Dude that said the car will never be the same is right. I would make them give you enough for a new one, or total it, whatever. I would take all of your aftermarket parts off though b/f they see them and replace with stock. I am dealing with insurance right now from being rearended and it sucks balls!!! I am soooooo tired of it but cant quit now. Gotta keep fighting them.
