WHO is the insurance company? Did you call the body shop I recommended? I would let them handle it - again - they are on the preferred list for most insurance companies, so their recommendation will be used as the claim NOT the adjusters. Bring the car up.... THEY will deal with the insurance company.
Also, they may say they can use used parts, but the fact is you are entitled to be brought back to "whole" so if your car did not have any repaired body panels BEFORE, you shouldn't have any after. The body shop I recommended only uses factory replacement parts - they are good to have in your corner. (Besides, do you really think there is a good source for used viper parts that the average body shop will be able to get / find? My bet is that they'd stay away from that because of the potential future headaches.) By the way - retail price for a Viper hood just went up to about $18K....
Ah heck, here's the body shop info for anyone on the east coast needed a great body shop:
