i added a link to the pics i took at work. its not really that bad like i said in my first post. im just trying to take advantage of the situation. i pay all that money for insurance every month, might as well try to get something out of it haha

 

Yeah... not sure if they're going to give you a brand new bumper (or money for one) for that kind of damage.

 

ok. well thanks for the help. worth a shot

 

Try it anyway. It wouldn't hurt. Obviously their client is at fault, so they might just cooperate fully and replace it. At the very least, you'll get a repaint (or money for it) or a full exterior detail or something.

 

Get a hammer and make a crack. the chick wouldn't remember lol. Say hello to jdm bumper :P

 

^ Just pray that the insurance company doesn't decide to search through the Evo forums if they get suspicious, otherwise charges of insurance fraud are on the horizon. Remember the guy who crashed his GT-R while chasing an Evo IX? Yeah, he got busted because of the internet.

 

made my day

 

yea the ****** and blow comment made me actually laugh out loud. my brother gave me a look like wft haha. today after work i went to the dealership and got a quote for 650. now what do i do? do i tell them i will fix it myself and they will cut me a check? sorry for the dumb questions but i have never had to deal with this kind of matter.

 

wtf?! did she hit you at .03mph??? seriously?! it looks like you could buff that sh*t out! i would just take the money and buy parts!

 

@ white evo 27

yea i know i can buff it out. if you read any of the thread you'll see that im asking how i can get the money from the insurance co. i have never been in an accident before and dont know how the process works.

i got a quote yesterday. do i tell them i will fix it myself, then they will cut me a check?

 

That seems like a pretty high quote for a repaint. They may make you have another quote done at their shop. Insurance companies are more stingy because of the economy. If they do quote you for $650 then tell them to cut you a check and you are going to have it done yourself. Then by a JDM rear.

 

I'm not sure how it works in CA but in IL I'm pretty sure the law is that you can definitely request that they just give you a check. In no way are you obilgated to get the damage repaired and you're also free to take it to any body shop you like to have the work done. Again, that's how it works here in IL but IDK about CA. Personnally, I keep waiting for this to happen to me so I can go get my JDM rear I'm gonna have to practice sounding mad when I talk to the insurance company though

 

yea i was surprised by the quote too. thanks for the help guys.

 

Bummer man, kee us updated with what you decide.

 

What about this is insurance fraud? I skimmed the post... the hammer idea... yeah insurance fraud...


buying a JDM rear not insurance fraud.

OP,
I just got in a wreck with my evo, damage was a little worse but PROGRESSIVE said a US spec bumper cost 800, unpainted, so they gave me 1k to for a bumper - I bought an authentic JDM rear for 790 or whatever at driveline, You also need to think about your crash beam. Stock crashbeam = 400 ... demonwerks crashbeam (fits JDM rear) = 250 . Remember you cannot get a stock crashbeam to fit jdm rear without some modification, also think about the fitment of your exhaust.
