If you ask for the diminished value, they have to give it to you, if you don't mention it, they won't offer it.

Good luck.
This was the best advice i got when i was rear ended (and subsequently pushed into the car in front of me).

Got a check somewhere between 3-4k. Repairs were to the tune of 2K at least, so thankful i didnt have to pay a dime.

On topic: Deleted the sound tube today. Noticeable difference for sure.
