They sand the body panels down and repaint them so that the paint on the new body parts will blend in with the old ones. I heard from a couple shops that it's the right way to do on a metallic painted car (mine's designo Mocha Black).

Glad you are OK KEV, on the bright side you will get some NEW parts on your car , and it will look great when you get it back. Glad the insurance co is not playing games.Looks like 10-12k damage?

This is the 3rd time that I've been hit from behind, but the past 2 times were at parking lot speed so not a lot of damage was done. I'm glad that neither myself nor my passenger suffered from any whiplash injury coz it's definitely not fun.

Thanks! I'm definitely getting new stuff and new mods put into the car so there's at least a sweet part in this ordeal. The insurance companies (Premier and Liberty Mutual in this case) are very good to work with. LM agreed to pay for everything immediately and the other party actually called in to tell them that she's at fault.

You're pretty accurate on the cost of the damage. The initial appraisal came out to around 8K, but with the aftermarket parts that were damaged as well as some other not-so-apparent damage, the total comes out to around 11k for both the front and back.
