Also, replaced front, rear and shoulder(not pictured) speakers, added mirror tweeter pods, added HKS twin spark and 3000 pipe, and in the process of adding an EVC1(not pictured):

The next post will show the new Aodhan wheels, EVC1, and hopefully new window tint.

So, a couple of more recent pictures,
I replaced my Mustang reps with some Aodhan wheels that I liked, in a square setup. New tires as well.
Also, the body molding trim strips were slightly shrunken and weren't adhering anymore, so I replaced them with a 12mm generic black stripping. I like how it came out. This may be the best that this car will ever look.

So like I said above...That WAS the best the car would ever look, lol.
Got rear-ended, just sitting at a stoplight. Luckily, there's no buckling in the quarter panels. Mostly just damage to the bumper and nearly-impossible-to-replace JDM cherry lights. Oh well. Waiting on insurance to give me an estimate.

Hopefully you get it repaired, you can still find JDM rear tails on Ebay but they're going for $500+ so hopefully insurance will take that in consideration.
Yep, getting it fixed. I drop the car off on Monday to a repair shop. They told insurance $3200 to fix it, which insurance paid. But I'm sure that they'll be pocketing a chunk of that, because they were quoting pricing on molding parts, etc. that I KNOW they have no intention(or capability) of hunting down or replacing. I just dropped a grand on a replacement set of JDM cherries. Hopefully I'll get them this coming week. You never know these days- every one is a scammer.
Private workshops? Not sure what you mean. But the update is this:
The day after I dropped off the car, they told me to come pick it up, because they can't get any of the parts for it. DUH.
I told them that. So the insurance company sent me the check instead. I've been spending the past few days slowly working the rear finish panel back into proper shape, and found a somewhat decent set of cherry tails to put back into it. I'll have a couple of pics up in the next day or so.
Yes, pretty much all workshops(body shops) are privately owned, here in the states. The 'adjustment' of the rear finish panel wasn't too difficult, so I've handled that part myself. I will be having a private shop handle the repainting of the rear bumper.
So, as of last week, I finally completed the tail repair. I'm satisfied with the outcome,
but of course would have much rather not been in the accident at all.

And as of yesterday, I finally swapped out my HKS Drager exhaust, for the one I really wanted.
The Drager was installed, because when I bought the car, it was missing the original exhaust, but the previous owner had
the new Drager sitting in the hatch. But now I have the toned-down, almost OEM look of the LET-T16. Surprisingly, the two exhausts sound almost identical at idle and rev. I haven't even driven the car yet, to see what it sounds like at speed.
