btw, i noticed you have some funny tires .... "Tiger paw"?

I'm surprised you two have never heard of "Tiger Paw"... They're Uniroyal's main series of tires... Those are pretty common mid-line tires...

Wow, man glad you got out of it ok.

The body shoped called me to confirm that the insurance will not be a write off the car and will be fixing it. $6239 (Canadian Dollar), may increase if further suspension damage is found. Worst part is all of the parts will NOT be genuine Toyota parts, all aftermarket, including the front beam support.

Does anyone how this works? Its not i hate aftermarket parts, but i'd most likely wont feel as comfortable as i would knowing genuine toyota parts were used to replace the old ones.

As well, ive seen some people taking advantage of situations like these. An example would be my buddy with his 00 Integra, instead of the standard stock bumper, he was able to have a JDM one installed. Now if i was to want a TRD front bumper, what would i have to do? Talk to the insurance? or the collision center?

Holy crap man.
Dependin' on where they get their aftermarket parts would be the only worry.
There is no TRD front bumper just the TRD kit which is 7 pieces....

i will stick with all OEM parts, if they are using genuine parts, they are ripping u off, i would also triple check for the suspension since they are doing it mine as well get a new struts...
like wat John said, they no TRD bumper, onli TRD kit, pm xaiver aka kevin for more info on the kit
anyways good luck on the repair
