My Evo was bumper tapped to the tune of $1500 or so. I wonder if it is worth it to file a diminished value claim as it will likely be reported to carfax or the like.

I think in NYS you can file this when you register the car new, and I think the only reason to do it would be to get a decrease in taxes?

if just the bumper is damaged then it should be a lot cheaper the 1500!

also if your talking about the rear bumper, when you replace it make sure you get a jdm bumper..

as for reporting it, i wouldn't for such a small amount considering you probably have to pay a deductible

I have heard of insurance companies sometimes paying out on diminished value, however you don't have much of a case unless you have significant amount of damage and structural repairs.
