Default need your opinion

Got into a accident last week,guy hit me in the back while i was standing still,totally his fault. Im going after his insurance company.
If priced out things while looking at the estimates a received and I can go two route since I am getting reimbursted.
I can just get my body readjusted cause its not really that bad and do the 2JZ-GTE swap.

OR

Do the exterior of my SC, which would include a carbon fiber hood, trunk,roof spoiler, Vertex fenders and body kit

WHAT WOULD YOU DO

exterior mods can go later on, with all this rain and snow up in NY, this option could def. wait

$1000 to 1500 for a bodykit to me is easier to come up with, that the $2500 or + to get the 2jzgte setup & im alot more of a mechanic than i am a body guy. the only other thing is, if your like me than having a bodyshop putting your bodykit on, and having them get it straight & pretty is worth alot too. I would still do the swap. Good luck.
