parts alone were about 3g's, that is the new hood that i had to get, i had to get hood fender bumper support, radiator and all components, new hid lights casue both were messed up, airbag and a whole mess of stuff, i think at the end it will be something a little south of 5k, i called the ins and they said that since he wasn't covered on my policy i gotta pay for it, so i have been slowly getting parts for the passed 6 months. it should be done tomorrow

Hows the trans fluid level? Did they correct the level after replacing the radiator? And was is it leaking any due to the accident (trans fluid)?
