Update
Hey everyone,
Haven't been on in a while, finally got the car back yesterday after 6 weeks and $13,000 out of the insurance company's pockets. Couldn't be happier to see it. I think they did a great job on the body and the car is running fine except for two issues. First, there is a squeaking noise I'm hearing when going over bumps. I'm thinking that since they replaced the whole suspension, maybe they didn't lubricate the bushings well enough. I will be taking it back to them for that and to put back on the mud guards which they forgot.
The second is a major issue but since I am still under warranty I'm taking it to the dealer for this (dealership told me this is most likely covered). When I received the car the screen/radio/air conditioner were all off and none of the controls worked. The screen comes on when I put the car in reverse and the backup cam shows, and it is only in reverse that I can adjust the a/c (weird). I called the auto body shop and they said they didn't touch anything with the electrical, I will take it to the dealer first and see what they say.
P.S. While the car was there I had them throw on the spoiler and take off the infiniti letters for free

Congrats, bro! Make sure you have someone drive it and you follow behind to make sure it doesn't have that crooked chassis that sometimes happens when you are hit in the rear/side.

Thanks everyone, I will make good use of it now that summer is around (and my birthday on Saturday 
) I visited every week to check on the car and fortunately the way it was hit, the frame was still completely intact when everything was taken apart. All of the damage was to the quarter panel and the suspension in that corner.
