So i was at work, and when i got off i came out to see some idiot hit my car. He ran into my front driver side bumper. Shattered my head light. Any1 around Tempe, AZ have an oem front bumper for sale, actually any kind of front bumper? Also a driver side headlight? i Have to redo everything this time im gonna think about getting fogs, vrd grills and an oem lip kit. If you dont have any of the above. Would you kindly direct me to a cheap but good body shop? THANKS SL

sheesh im gonna go to like a million body shops first compare prices

 

what about insurance? Hope you got a low deductible.

 

nah my rates will go sky high, plus deductible of 500

 

how far away are you from anaheim, because i've got an extra front bumper

 

im in tempe, az.

 

Insurance education 101. Comprehensive claims will not make your rates go up. You were not in control of the vehicle when the accident occurred. Collision claims make the rates go up 'cos you were in control of the vehicle.
Now go to any shop and get it fixed. 'Nuff said.

 

5-6 hours away going like 80 mph

 

I was told the insurance company will write me a check after they send some1 to inspect it. Then i could bring the check to a body shop right?
They could also have me bring it to one of their shops but hopefully i get a choice.

 

thats right, who is your insurance through? i have state farm and they let me choose my shop and just write me a check

 

i got American family lol

 

Have an insurance claim adjuster come out and inspect the damage. Make sure to point out any damage that he might happen to miss. Then, go to the body shop to have them go over the insurance estimate and they will make their own based on what they see and will get a hold of the insurance company to negotiate more money if needed.

 

go to the junk yard. hey you never know you could get lucky.

 

yeah contacted insurance, i gotta a buddy at a body shop so im lookin at getting the raven or kr-s body kit soon.

 

It is usually cheaper for the body shop to order aftermarket pieces anyhow. So, more power to ya. They probably wouldn't argue with you being that they would be spending less on the claim.

I had a claim a few years ago when my Ford Focus was smashed up with bats and river rocks. The bodyshop ending up shaving everything and doing a custom paint job and it was less money with all the paint and labor than the factory paint job was.

 

lol yeah i also pitched in some money so i gotta full raven body kit coming
