from my latest status report from the shop:
"yes we are using the celette frame bench. your vehicle does have frame damage. so we are replacing the rt frame rail. once we had it up on the bench we noticed the strut shock tower and the shock tower crossmember needed to be replaced. the celette puts the vehicle in exact measurements as to what it was from factory."

so there is frame damage, which really bums me out, but it sounds like they're replacing rather than repairing/straightening the damaged components. really, though, are all cars this fragile in collisions?

i believe you can now go back to the insurer and try to get a total loss. per our little discussion in a previous thread. i personally would, and i don't consider myself one to complain, but frame damage on an all aluminum car with high strength steel subframe? nah, i don't really trust it to repair... not enough precedent there
