After 4 loving years of owning my NSX and finally getting it set up like I wanted it, I got in an unfortuanate one car accident on I-10 in Baton Rouge
Saturday morning.
I was hauling ass to work and I put on my blinker to make a lane change when another unidentified light blue Camry decided they wanted to go where I was going, never seeing me, and when I tried to get back over another car was on my right. I was trapped and had to slam on the brakes while my car was pitched at an sharp angle. As I remember it, I whipped the wheel to the right, and, at that point the physics of the mid engine brought the rear around and into a spin I went. I was blessed as I managed to miss contact with all other vehicles,but, unfortuanately, my car met the retaining wall with a violent crash and it ripped my HP EVO's to pieces and tore up that side of the car pretty well. I then spun around 3 more times and ended up in the middle of six lanes pointed in the wrong direction. I can say that there are no atheists in NSX's with 18 wheelers, pickups,and cars skidding towards them at 75 miles an hour.
There is definite damage to the suspension. It is a 95 that I bought with about 50K on it. It presently has 126K on it.
I just had the stage 2 Pseudophile SOS stereo with a top of the line Kenwood head put in it. I also had Comptech headers, JGTC Parallel Exit Exhaust, Cantrell cold air intake, Sirius satellite radio,and I have a new leather kit still in the box (black) with the perforated inserts, NSX insignia headrests, and the perforated door inserts at the house. I am bumming, looking for another black,black, 95 or 96 on ebay and prime.
I asked the insurance people if I could take all my extra gear off if I produce receipts. She did not have an answer for me . I also have the dark tailights with the "H" in the middle. They really looked good on a shiny black NSX. I figure I had about 11 grand worth of goodies on it and quite frankly, I want my extras back. If I decide to wait to get another NSX, I might be selling some of this stuff.
I wonder if the insurance company will let me take off my extras?

In regards to the 'extras', I believe it really depends on your insurance policy. I took out a side policy for such, which I had learned the hard way. I had a $5k stereo system in one of my cars several years ago, and when it was stolen, I only received 1/2 that amount in reimbursement. It sounds that you were not the one ticketed with the accident, so if you have your receipts, you may gain reimbursement through the person at fault's insurance company. 
:wink:
