My friend accidentally backed up into my car. The damages are around the lower right rear end of the car. My back bumper, diffuser, and the stock rear lip (SSS) are all damaged. His insurance will cover everything. Should I just get them repainted and call it a day? or use some of the evil insurance company's money for a little upgrade?

I am open to all ideas

 

Upgrade to better friends! LOL

 

^ lol +1

 

+2

 

Whats with all the X's getting hit lately??

 

I was thinking the same thing, lots of threads on trashed Evo's.

 

If it was an VIII or a IX it would be such an obvious answer. You can't really improve on the stock rear bumper here.

 

Probably due to most are coming out of hibernation! (i.e., more on the road)

 

He is more of a business partner than friend. Also he is like 60+ years old AND Asian....so i gave him a break.

 

show n shine is for pictures

moved to general

 

sounds like your muffler could be bent or busted?

maybe price up a OEM replacement muffler then also price up a aftermarket catback and see what happens.

its best not to try and rip off insurance companies (even though its their business model to us)

 

Dude sorry about your evo. I feel your pain. Trust me.

 

I vote for leaving it with stock replacements.

 

^ cotton's got the idea

 

stock is clean. could get a carbon fiber diffuser
