That was actually a very interesting video. It's good info. I have been kicking around the idea of rebuilding the whole front clip of my old truck and that shines a whole new light on my plans.

Very good video - i guess we the consumer need to ask what price we put on safety and should be asking ... no forcing our insurance companies to stop the repair shops using cheap and unsafe replacement parts - using this video proves that it's false economy anyway.

One thing i noticed is that you guys have much cheaper labour rates for paint and panel than us - most shops out here don't charge less than $60.00/hour.

And to add to this. Using aftermarket parts and charging for OEM! Are the sensors themselves also available as aftermarket? Scary thought.
