Haha yeah just some Energy RC Micro surround sound speakers flanking an Ikea painting. The couch is a 7-piece reclining sectional from Costco.

Haha with all the shady spliced wires and electronics in the engine bay I'm a little scared. I might attempt a legit wipe down though. I would love your help installing the cr trunk stiffeners again if you are up for it. After it's all done I will probably go to joeys to get he wing mounted and would love to coordinate the trunk stiffeners for he same day or the week before. Let's keep in touch buddy!! I salvaged all the old trunk stiffener parts and bought an entire set of new ones so hopefully we can double up in a couple places for extra strength on the yellow trunk.

Noticed a little issue with the front passenger side fender liner (and associated air-diverting mud flap thingy, so I'll be ordering up a new fender liner and flap.

Day 8:

Good news that Farmer's Insurance approved ALL supplemental claims (which included the need for a new headlight, blending that wasn't included on the preliminary estimate, and a few other things like a new passenger's side fender liner. I'm happy to say that we are experiencing the best case scenario where Farmer's is covering the complete cost of repair and I was 100% NOT at fault.

A few pics to show the progress by the end of today.





Got a dent on the hood fixed up as part of the out-of-pocket hood repaint process:

It sounds like you are being well taken care of by your insurance company. That is very fortunate. I would welcome a light no-fault fender bender if it gave me the opportunity to refresh my front bumper and take care of all the rock chips
