Having AAA pick up the car from the PD impound lot over to our preferred body shop, where it'll be evaluated and appraised, then be locked up for the holiday. I don't really want anything stolen off of it if it sits out. Will update when I get word from insurance. Let's pray she's not totaled. This build must go on...

wow, glad you're ok and sorry this happened to you after all your hard work. i have a feeling this will be totaled just because of the amount of damage it has and because it's a lexus.
if they total it, i'd buy it back for change, then part it out, you'd probably make more money parting it out than what the insurance will give you. that will give you a chance hopefully to upgrade or buy a newer model.

Made my statement to insurance last night. The nice lady I talked to said she will have an appraiser sent down to the body shop my car is at ASAP.
Not sure If i mentioned this yet, but the PD towing partner scraped my rear end loading it after the collision. Talked to insurance about all of that and thank god it's covered.
ALSO!!!
Auto body said that insurance SHOULD cover the wrap. Haven't talked to them about this because at this point its the least of my concern, Im not even sure if the car is totaled yet. BUT on the chance that it's not, what color should the car be rewrapped? Has to go well with black, (black lights, wheels, wing, etc) Thinking going with a matte black? or maybe like a gunmetal gray, cobalt blue matte? something matte for sure, Let me know some of your ideas or suggestions. The place that is doing my wrap, and did the original wrap, can print any design onto 3M vinyl, so if you have any funky cool designs lmk.

How much did you get charged to fully wrap it?
Also Im glad its covered by insurance, I was worried at first that you having damage to the front usually risk of getting the blame. MATTE BLACK

Matte black! or anything matte. I kinda want to explore unique design. lines here and there, nothing crazy, colored door handle.. If the vinyl is covered, that is great. As far as I know, any modification to the car has to be reported to insurance as it is extra cost for them to cover in case of accident. So if they do not know that you have vinyl on, they might refused to honor that. but finger xed!

Ah thanks for reminding me, I remember reading this somewhere. I will wait a month or two probably after I get the car back(If i do get it back) to wrap it, in order to let paint cure, plus they will need the car for a week or two to do the wrap. Thanks!

Remember it's not just about it curing time, it's also the surface prep, primer, bonding/flex agents, and all other factors that go into a quality repaint.
