Try to use www.carpart.com to shop around for parts or try to use ebay, where most sellers sell oem or aftermarket parts.

Most insurances use oem parts to replace damaged parts on a vehicle. Also accounting for labor per hour.

"The insurer will determine the cost of the repairs plus the scrap value of the vehicle. If this number equals or exceeds the actual cash value (ACV) of your vehicle before it was in an accident, your car will be totaled."

Interesting approach. I like it, you indicate that you have a total of around 17k in it. I looked & used 2017 Maxima platinum are around 19k-23k with around 20k miles. I too am curious as to how it runs & drives over a long period of time?? My concern would be on going alignment issues as well as suspension durability too? I for sure like the idea of what you did. I agree that you definately got a smokin' deal there. I can't imagine that it is a common occurance to find items like that..

good job,
