Keep telling him yes, rack up the bill, pick up the car, pay only what you feel you have to... and obviously, try to avoid breaking his neck at all costs

EDIT: just finished reading through, skip all that I said and keep the last thing (about the neck) in your back pocket, just in case lol. Hope that all works out ok because "well" and "great" are likely out of the question at this point

Damn broseph! I had a shop do some work and was a reputable shop and has done nice work before for me. Things happened and I ended up picking up on a flat bed =/

I still can't believe USAA is doing this to you!!!! Damn!!! kinda funny though, I had a few scuffs and dings taken out of my Mustang recently, and for the first time EVER I had trouble with USAA, when the first agent who called me said it was collision, not even willing to discuss comprehensive. The 2nd agent was much nicer and more able, but the fact this clown who called me first was quite pompous has soured me a bit to USAA, just a bit though because I won without further issue after that, thanks to my repair shop.

These are the latest photo's. I cant wait to see it in person, hell drive the thing. This is the longest I've gone without her since I got it! The tips will be pushed in, the pipes need to be shortened and he figured he would leave that up to me so its how I want it.

I forgot to give him the Saleen decklid panel for the plate, I'll throw it on later but damn I wish I could get away with sticking it in the rear window.

It was never a question of the quality but rather a rapidly inflating price from not going with the insurance company's estimate and not having them inspect to cover the additional damage. We did work something out, its a little over what should have come over my pocket but the amount of work was about 3g over the estimate as well. In the end I'm happy.

I know that he had his guy go detail the entire exterior to the car removing swirl marks and other imperfections so that the new paint wouldn't be obvious. He's a nut about the cars coming out of the shop looking their best, not just to insurance standard. Thats why he got the car.

SOOOOOOO, I went to pick it up yesterday. I left on thursday to get to pittsfield ma where I left the rental,leaving there at 2am to get to long island for 7ish.

I cant figure out how the fuck they put the black trim back on the roof and didnt realize they clearly missed the entire back of the lip when painting. Maybe they were too busy looking at the seam from the new quarter above the door that looked like complete shit. Considering the bottom seam was perfect as I tried to find it and couldnt I know they can do better. So the car is still at the shop and I'll get it back next week...... On the bright side the paint is matched perfectly.

If you get a chance, post up more pics of the car!

Also, what size/offset/tire size are those wheels?

Not sure of the rest.

Update on the car...

She's back in primer and the paint will be reshot on monday, issue I had with the bumper is already fixed.

Usaa has also been brought into this and is working with the shop to recoup what I shouldnt have paid out of pocket.

FML why does everything have to be so difficult.
