well i got into a little fender bender this last week! i'm pulling up to a red light the guy next to me speeds up cuts me off and then slams on his breaks!!! i was pissed i got out with the mind set of I'M GOING TO KILL THIS GUY!!!!! but a old man gets out of the van and i put that aside, not alot of damage to his van but some minor scratches and a little dent on the back door. but my truck to most of the impact wrecked my front bumper luckily that was all nothing major. and i said well if i'm going to replace it i might as well get the one with the fogs. its ok no one was hurt, and the cops werent a-holes at all. cant wait for insurance to go up yay!!!

 

dude i wouldn't even go through insurance...i would just buy a new bumper....

 

Glad to hear your okay. Looks like its time for PTM with foglights.

 

that sucks! i wouldnt go through insurance either

 

You'll end up paying close to $1500 (if your bumper cover is damaged) if you go with a bumper with fogs. I just got finished with the repairs to my truck, and it was around $1100 to replace the bumper, bumper cover, valance.

 

I'd blame it on that cowgirls front plate if you choose to skip insurance there are plenty of bumpers on eBay, I picked up a rear bumper for 170 from an eBay auto salvage seller.

 

Ouch!

 

Damn that sucks, skip the insurance IMO

 

I have a bumper that I took off my truck (06 STX) that is white I'm trying to sell for $125. It don't have fog holes.

 

I want alittle fender bender like that...my bumper is starting to chip and rust from the northern michigan winters and salt, needs a new paint job bad.

 

haha just find a garbage truck or something..

 

I wouldnt even worry about insurance man. Just get the new bumper and call it a day.

 

eBay has a ton of bumpers.

 

Your going to need more then just a bumper. The end of the frame rails where the bumper mounts are probaly bent and will need to be fixed and some of the brackets for the bumper will possible need to be replaced also.

 

My first thought as well....you're bumper comitted suicide

I would avoid insurance as well unless you have to...the increase in premiums for 3 years may exceed the amount you could have spent just fixing it yourself.
