couple a thoughts; 1, it doesn't take a helluva lot of impact to make a car look like crap so maybe they just weren't triggered...2, prevous accident and the bags were never replaced? Sure would make a great parts car, I got a 67 Impala ragtop thats beggin' for that kind of set-up. Ya gonna get it?

i see... previous accident doesnt make sense, since the bags are intact...maybe theres a sensor somewhere that once impact meets a certain area it would tell the bags to go?
heh im not gunna get it, i have a black one to that sitting here, and broke like a bad joke.

another question though, would a front clip from a trans am of the same year fit one to one on a same year camaro? had an idea for a front lookin trans am with a back lookin camaro...what you guys think?

yes there are sensors on the car that tell the bags to deploy. front bumper for sure. i dont think the front will fit.

hey dude, good news least they made a desision. I aint been upto much , just literally finished my time here working in Spain so ill be back home to see the beast tomorrow, my all is picking me up in his GTO too

If it was total ( it my work different in US than UK but..) only stuff like stereo cover and declared factory optional extras. Over here you are suppost to declare all aftermarket modifications and you dont get any 'extra' cash in the case of an accident. All I would say is if you have any parts on the car you can take off and keep then do it. You'll likely get the going price ish of a similar car, if you are not happy with their estimate you maybe able to like 'appeal' and send some pics and adverts of other camaros similar to yours to indicate the cost. If ya get me ??
