my camaro has a r-title and it doesnt look as bad as yours.
I was doing about 80.

No offense to your car, but its a V6 Camaro and mine is a Vette. They work of of either 80% of the total cost of the car or frame damage. If that repair cost you $3000 and the total cost of the car was $3600 then yeah it would be...

My car is still worth a ******** of money and fiberglass isn't that expensive

I think it will be totaled, you have damage on almost every panel, the quarters have to be bonded then smoothed, we had one that was damaged in shipping and the dealerships insurance totaled it.For some reason vette parts are overpriced

Yeah, there is the back bumper which is one piece, and the two rear fenders, all of which can come off... the only thing thats bonded on C5's is the piece right behind the roof panel. Thats steel too if I'm not mistaken...
