Well I got side swiped by a z06 today on the highway and he put us both into the woods, I'm waiting to find out if my car is a total loss and was just wondering if it is how do I go about taking the good aftermarketparts off and put stock back on. Is it even worth it? The only parts that would be good would be the intake exhaust and maybe the springs.

It depends on what you got in it. The main thing is you have to send it to a body shop that you've dealt with before. They can strip all your aftermarket stuff of and return it to stock. You have to figure all this stuff out fast because the insurance company we'll be trying to take your car and they don't give a **** about what parts you have in it.
03gt the car is sitting in a wrecking yard right now, the vette drivers insurance company isnt even open on sundays so idk when they plan on sending an adjuster out.
Bmoney there may be more to the story but the moral of the story is vette drivers suck.

Let me guess you were street racing and he came into you and took you both out...who was winning at the time? You should Hope they total it out, then you can put your order in for a 2015 gt.
Hopefully it's not in the wrecking yard yet--tow yard maybe? Unless you have a friend or another car to put the parts on they will most likely sit in your garage. Show the receipts and you might get reimbursed--talk to your agent and get some advice.
Following for the money man. This will be a good one. I wanna hear all the details. Hope everything works out for the best man. Nobody wants to be without their pride and joy(s).

^ that doesn't help him at all... so why even post it?
I personally haven't been in a wreck and had to go retrieve parts, but my friend has. He was able to go to the wrecking yard and pull off the parts he wanted of his car by showing them the receipt and saying hey that's still my car and those are my parts. Was able to take off his coil overs and rims and cf trunk. This was for a miata that was totalled but I'd think it's still a similiar process.

Man be sure to work with the insurance company. After showing them receipts for my totaled 95 GTS. They gave me a go ahead to pull the D1SC and heads intake and a lot of other misc to use on my 95 cobra. To later do take-backsies and subtract the parts value from the pay out. So it went from a 6,000$ payout to a 1,788$. Most like to flip totaled cars at auctions to make money back. They said I would of been fine if I replaced what I took with what was stock.

Take the loss on the parts and count your blessings. You may want to avoid posting on the internet until there is resolution to the wreck. Looks like you may need a lawyer.............this will not end well...........
You can take aftermarket parts off, but you have to replace them with the stock parts or they will deduct that from your payout.
Ahh not all Vette drivers suck - I would like to hear the story as well.
Accidents happen that is why we have insurance - sorry to hear about the mishap
When you tell us the story be sure to make it all 'hypotheticals' to cover your own tracks.

Once I knew my truck was totaled I told the insurance company that I planned to replace all aftermarket parts with stock parts. I did this at the tow lot. I had to replace all parts with the stock parts.
