i work at a body shop . if the parts are what was on your car, you have to complain to your insurance agent. if it was there , they have to replace it. as far as the tail lights, i bet they used aftermarket ones. also when you are in a wreck, they just dont paint the whole car. they paint as little as possible. mostly they blend it to the undamaged panels.the insurance adjusters are very smart. they know if a strut or wheel bearing is damaged from a wreck or not. we have customers that come in with a little dent in the car on the bedside of a truck that si soo rusted and expect us to fix the rust area too for free. NOT 
this is called insurance fraud.
also in Pa. if you hit someone behind the drive , its your fault. they say that you should have had control of your car to get stopped in time. if you didnt, you was too close.so from the drivers door forward, its their fault .
our shop is a state farm service first center, and we have 3 adjusters at our shop too. we deal directly with about 20 insurance companies.

Re: SON OF A B****!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to hear of your misfortune. It sucks big time. Been there Done that. I had a younger lady stop and turn directly into my front end last fall. 3600.00 worth of damage. I'm still a little dazed how she can be coming down the road stop for me then turn into me?????? I'm sorry but a dark red bonnie isn't something that blends into the scenery. I did get lucky though. I took my car to the local Pontiac dealer to get fixed and they under estimated to damage. If they had figured it correctly the Ins. Co. would have totaled my car. Well good luck on getting your car fixed I just thought I would share some misfortunes with ya.. :(

The dealership said it would be a couple weeks almost until they could get the parts and repair it. At least that gives me time to make some extra dough.
I'll be changing my O2 sensor today, just got it yesterday!

Kow how it is. had a lady run a stop as I was going into the intersection. Se took a full 3500 lbs at 32mph to her Cvaliers driver side door. Verdict $5500.00 damage to mine, her car totaled.(actually felt bad for her, she was older and looked like she couldnt afford another vehicle)

A driver like that shouldn't be able to get another vehicle! 
32 mph, man that must have been bad.
I'll be posting some pics of my damage this week. It could've been worse, but I'm still not happy about it.

I think OLD people and people should have flashing lights on their cars (besides the left turn signal) like the tow trucks, so you can see them coming a mile away, and they should have the 360-degree bumpers like the bumper car rides...

I have a 95, and that'* what it is supposed to look like...I think. There never was an SSE badge on the back. Just the sides and the front bumper.
And what happened in that picture was.... I was rear-ended by some girl in a Firebird at a fairly good speed.
