sorry to hear about the bad news, definitely feel your pain. but on the flip side, once its all fixed up, it'll be like new. just make sure you get a good body shop that can do a good paint match.

Stormforge, I used the body shop rec'd by the Lexus dealer.

It looks pretty good; a couple of minor areas that if you look REALLY closely, you can see a little orange peel, and one fisheye. I think it'll polish out; they have a lifetime guarantee, and I'll take it back for one more polish.

The color match is pretty much perfect. I was concerned about getting the body creases "crisp" again, and they are. Yay! My RX looks like it's new again.

Thanks for the sympathy; it cannot believe how much nicer it is to be back in my RX in comparison to the Beetle. That was loud, rough riding, harsh, and not fun. The only good thing about it was it got slightly better mileage.

Yeah, I tried that conversation. USAA says that only applies if it's a moving violation.

The door looks like a fairly straight forward fix. The plastic bumper might be a bit more complicated.

USAA is the worst insurance company! UMPD coverage should cover things like hit and runs. Without a doubt!

Really? I keep hearing the complete opposite. Apparently they also give you back your money for safe driving.
