I wasted copious amount of siliva that day with Dallas PD with negative result ... lesson learned is that unless you kill someone or someone killed you Dallas PD is not gonna give a sh!t

thanks so much for been on top of my dilemma, much much appreciated ...
there are explosive charges in the bottom of the front seatbelts that explode to lock the seatbelt in a tight position when the air-bags go off so you don't hit the airbag as it's opening up, and as well it keeps you tight to the seat so you don't go flying through the suddenly stopped car.

i called the shop already and told them that every parts shoudle be oem acura part no cutting corner. the shop agrees and since i think they want to earn the most money out of this repair why would they hold back on charging geico for it ?

with 505 miles, and that kind of damage, i would have accepted nothing but a total because the car is worth half of what you just paid... sorry man :/

Geico treated me well with 3 weeks of rental and daily adjuster update. the total cost is at $5000 (all cosmetic)

I'm keeping the car so I don't care if it's worth half or not.

will pick up the car in few hours and will post pic

thanks for the support

there is a ton of damage underneath that, plus theres quite a bit thats visible. The frame is slightly bent, you can see how the hood pushed over and the fender pushed into the door, so it needs to be straightened $$$$. Then there is a new fender, hood, grille pieces, fog, lower grilles, bumper, headlight, airbag, seatbelt charges. Parts total would be easily around 5K

wow that totally sucks its practically new. Better hope they say its totalled and you can get a brand new TL rather then driving a salvage title one. Onces a car been in an accident it never drives the same again...

wow. i hate stupid people. this happens at the light right across from the shop i work at and i always have to be really careful. bunch of idiots. the light will be red for like 5 seconds and some jackass will still fly through it. me and my boss have both almost been hit 3 times.

when i read the story i thought it was gonna be alot worse. i hope everything works out for you. good luck. nice car
