I think the car is still at the towing yard. I haven't been by in a few weeks. But the headlights were ZKWs anyway. But I not going to have it repaired.
Going to my insurance is still on the table, but I want to first, see what the claims adjuster's supervisor can do for me (should get a call from him today). My next step would be to go to the shop owner for the difference of what his insurance gives me and what I want. My third possible course of action is to go to my insurance company.
This "talk to the supervisor" feels like a sham. They'll up a little, but not to what you ask. Refuse the first offer from the supervisor too. Tell them it's not a "fair" offer as it's not the value of your car.

Well, I took their latest offer today. They came up to kbb ($15.8k) and with the sales tax figure, I end up getting about $17.2k. But since they are actually valuing the car at $15.8k, I'm going to ask the shop owner to honor is suggestion that he would make up the difference if I am not happy.

I know it's not all you wanted but at least it's behind you and you can start looking for a new ZHP!
