    Im not trying to sound like a dick so please dont take it that way. Are you parents charging you rent? If not you should really just try and fix it your self we both know how easy it would be to get a new door and paint the jams and blend the paint to the side of the car. shit happens and you know its nothing but trouble getting the insurance companys involved.

    You're good.
    They aren't... yet. I know what you're saying, though. But it's the fact I took a hit on my deal, after my mom offered to reimburse me for the damages if we decided not to take it to the insurance. I work at the body shop at which the estimates were given, so I checked into fixing it at cost before I got rid of the car. The door alone used was $300, new $400 due to SE-Rs having different doors from regular Sentras. Said and done I would've spent around $600 if NOTHING broke and if I could actually buy everything at cost (everyone at the shop said the boss wouldn't have let me get everything at cost anyways).

    You really should have just let your mom cover it since it would have cost you about 600$ anyways If it would have gone into insurance Im sure she would have ended up paying that plus just with her insurance going up after the claim! she is probably not wanting to cover it now because of the hasle it has put her in. There was a deal that because of my mother cost me $4500!!!! Thats a hit! but 600$ just suck it up and fix it. you said your self you parked in a new spot and I could see looking at the pics how easy it would be not to see that car at night. and from the looks of the pics you were right behind the garage door.
