Called the police, so I have a police report from the scene as well as photos of my X, his car and the intersection where it happened per the officer's suggestion. I have a copy of the police report, and the other guy has the same insurance company that I do, so that should help.

Just looking at the few parts I know are needed on realOEM, I'm over $1000 just in parts with no labor of paint (Aero kit) work.

Appreciate the advice from both of you. I'll see what insurance has to say, and what the estimates work out to. Will let you know just FYI.

Thanks,
