Brand New GT350 Hit - Need Help

[jpog]

Hi All,

I am new to the forum and live in the Boston, MA area (South Shore). My new fully loaded 2020 Shelby 350 Mustang was just involved in a wreck. Some idiot ran a red light and almost T-Bone me but hit the front instead due to my Ninja reflexes. LOL

Anyways, I am pissed because the car is brand new with 600 babied miles on it (OK, some burn-outs) but it was spotless in mint condition. I found a great body shop (although I am neverous as hell its never going to be the same, worried the insurance is gonna take short cuts) but my question is should I find a mechanic, it looks like the Front right intercooler was hit and oil line maybe? Can anyone tell me from the pic what these are and should I have them inspected? What else should I request and why? I am sure the dudes insurance is going to give me a hard time. The hood also looks like it crumpled a bit on the left.

Hate to see that car messed up like that. Most body shops have mechanics there. You can argue for OEM parts because of the special car and newness. If it wasn't your fault the car should pe put back to original condition...as close as possible. They should inspect and repair everything that was touched in the accident.

Thanks 90sickfox do you know what type of intercooler is that exposed, is it an intercooler also are those oil lines? Do I need to worry about debris in my oil? Thanks

Bump for question above?

This is not an intercooler but an oil cooler for the motor I believe. It is not leaking oil but may have crushed fins. The headlight is bad as well. If you are OCD, you might want to take your car to TASCA Ford in RI as they specialize in all HiPo Fords. Good Luck!

I would second Tasca Ford. They have an excellent collision center

I doubt there is going to be any aftermarket body parts available for that car.
