Update,

Metlife said that the driver of the vehicle did not have permission to drive it so they said they're not paying for my repairs. The car wasn't reported stolen or missing so I think its bs.


The car is insured, simply that. If my friend Al took my car and hit anything with it. I know my insurance would have me on the hook to pay the bill, unless I reported it stolen.

I'd take the driver to small claims court. I had a car wash damage the bumper to my eclipse and I got a check for an OEM style bumper and paint/labor. They are responsible to bring it back to pre-accident condition.

Your insurance company should give you your deductible back once they collect from the other party.

JNZ sells new decals, not sure if they have the front badge though.

Yea you shouldn't have to pay out of pocket, that's BS. Do you have uninsured/underinsured coverage?

Yup, right when I got home I ordered a decal set from them along with a few misc things. I ordered them in silver. I don't know how well they'll match the OEM decals on the sides since they are replicas.

I have full coverage. I paid a $500 deductible. My car insurance company picked up the rest. The final cost was $742.10. Hopefully I get my $500 back. There is no timeline when or if I'll get my deductible back.

Also, I don't think the JNZ replica decals have the little Eagle logo by the word "Eagle" like how it does on the OEM decal.

I've been busy so I just got around to putting these replica decals on. They're pretty close to the original decals. They're better than nothing. I would buy them again. Their color pops out more. I was right about the missing eagle logo next to the word "Eagle." I talked to them and they said that they couldn't do it because the logo always turns out blurry. They have no plans on making it in the future.

I didn't replace the side decals and I don't want to. I didn't replace the badge either. I'll just hold onto them just in case. The paint on the rear bumper cover matches the rest of the car very well. I can't tell the difference. All in all, Fairway Collision did a nice job, and the JNZ replica decals and badge are nice. If anyone plans on painting their car I would reccommend them both.

Looks pretty good!

I'm glad to hear Fairway treated you right! The car looks good
