I went through this with Geico and I arranged the estimate for a few days in advance. I recommend you postpone your estimate and take off all the parts you want before they come. Once they make an estimate/total it the car is expected to be as it was looked at. Unless you want to try and work it out with the adjuster.
I was able to swap out wheels, brakes, and almost entire suspension before my adjuster came. And the wheels I put were badly bent with bald tires and I put the spare as one of the wheels. This was not a twin, but just telling you my experience. Also I was rear ended and there was not really any possibility of me being at fault, I'm not sure your situation.

I managed to save a good 80% of my aftermarket parts yesterday. I can't salvage my suspension and various interior/exterior pieces l because I can't find the stock parts anywhere in my garage, or they got ruined in the accident. I guess it's better to get some than none...

I find it impossible not to get attached to my cars. I spend shit tons of money on them, they provide me with lots of fun and enjoyment, help me pick up chicks, get me where I need to go, etc, so when they're dead it's like losing a member of the family.
The thing that makes this so devastating is I've only had the car for about 18 months. For at least half of that time I couldn't even drive it for medical reasons. I get bored with cars after 3-4 years, but with my FR-S I was just getting started...
