Just got word my TL is a total loss

I'm so sad. I just got my car back from the paint shop about 2 maybe 3 weeks ago. Last week I was involved in a car accident. I'm thankful for being a live because that accident could of been a lot worst. But I'm still sad. Just needed to vent...Here are a few pixs I have before the accident

I have front axles I never installed, along with Ingall rear camber kit, then I'm still waiting on my front Skunk2 camber kit from healtoe which has been on back order forever.

I do have one question. Would it be possible to put my stock suspension on so I can grab my coilovers before the insurances tows it away from the shop?

I'm as sorry as everyone else here, but the TL did its job in protecting you, so you can be thankful for that. Are you replacing with a similar TL or different car altogether? There's lots of nice choices for a replacement car out there.

sorry to see this happens...any aftermarkets are not part of the claims..you'll be able to remove any performance/aftermarket parts and put back all OEM's.

time for upgrade now..either another TL Type-S or newer.
