Exactly what happened to me. What I thought was going to be a little fix turned into "write it up for everything it could possibly need fixed." Control arms, front shocks, 4 new wheels, frame adjustment, new complete radiator support, steering rack, abs module, the list went on. Could you imagine they totaled this:






so they totaled it, I bought it back for only 700 bucks replaced just the lower portion of the radiator support, frame was flawless they spend 2 hours measuring everything and it was fine, got kyb shocks and struts the z06 wheels didnt need control arms, had the whole car repainted with the ss spoiler, so then re registered it and they said it doesn't need to have a reconstructed or totaled title. Still has a clean title. Free mods Navy free mods <3


I also got a new foamy underhood insulator hood thing to replace the messed up one as well^
