Yep just PM me offline. I'm in town next few days. If you have VIN easy enough to lookup the full options spec unless it has CXX which the GM there likes to do some crazy (and typically very cool) stuff with.

Cannot put into words how sorry I am to hear of the circumstances. Best of luck on a timely turnaround with the insurance. Major kudos on being so understandable and working through this with the shop. Like many have said before me...class act my friend. Hope to see you back on the road in another one soon with our products putting a smile on your face and forgetting about the past

John, thank you for that. The products for the Boxster Spyder are fantastic and I am really happy with the set up and the tune. The RS I'll have to work out with BHR on how to get made whole on the parts, car would have been a monster I'm sure. Product quality was awesome, and for what I was doing a great fit. I'll figure it out on the next one I suppose. Thank you again for the comments.

Really liked the Kreissieg product, not as much the Akra (used them in the past) also Shark Werks and Dundon. I really liked the sound on the fabspeed set up with the stock middle muffler (headers, by-pass with valvtronic) so it really was sound choice, was happy with quality. I hear you on tunes STG, talked to fabspeed quite a bit on this, felt comfortable in what they were doing and very easy to take on and off. Obviously the right decision in hindsight was to do nothing.

Update:
1. Damage report to come today, finally.
2. Thank you to Lodi for putting me in touch with some really helpful people.
3. Want to thank a few members for recommending Billy Walkowiak at Collision Safety Consultants. Billy is one of the top guys in the country on diminished value claims. Haven't hired him yet and he has already given me a ton of great insight into the process and how to negotiate. His rates are fantastic and he deals with exotics. If you have any issues with damage to these cars, he's a go to. Billy.CollisionSafety@gmail.com

Update 2:
1. Damage estimate is around $75K, however they have to get the front clip off to determine frame, visual it looks ok but can't tell.
2. 60 plus days to fix once they get the parts, apparently the parts process on this car is a nightmare as it runs through Porsche and takes time, so loss of use likely to be longer. (I will be asking for comp on loss of use if they try to fix it).
3. Diminished value estimates are coming in around $150K pending no frame damage. I have Billy at collision safety working on that however, given the damage report that is the number tentatively.
4. So loss of use (60 plus days at the cost to replace a 911 (not cheap)), $100 K in diminished value and $75K of damage (for now).
We are obviously pushing for them (shop insurance carrier) to recover through salvage and total. Otherwise the fight insues to prove out our number.
5. Porsche is Downloading the ECM now, so will get what "really" happened on the cars last drive (unless of course it was wiped).

Curious, did you ever get a police report filed? Did Bob Hindson Racing/Aaron Holstrom give a statement to the police?

Yikes...
Does the owner happen to have a teenage son? The owner riding shotgun immediately popped in my head when I saw the passenger airbag had been deployed.
Definitely look for security cameras around the scene of the crash. Also find out if the shop has security cameras, so you can see who got in both the driver and passenger seats.
Good luck!
