Down boy! Hate to tell you, but you may not be able to take anything off the car at all... If the insurance company decides to total out the car, the wreck becomes their property and they auction it off as salvage. If you start taking parts off it, they can get rather testy. Heck, if it's in as good condition as you say, they may not total it at all. To be a total loss, the cost to repair the damage usually has to exceed 80% of fair market value for the car (the actual percentage may differ depending on the insurance company). My '99 Outback Sport had the entire front end smashed in, but it was just barely over the limit for repair cost. So hang back and let your mom's friend deal with her insurance company before you start scavenging the car for parts
