Before I do anything with the spacers, I want to see what the car's ride height looks like. From there, I'll decide what to do. Before it goes in for the corrective surgery, I've got to meet with the State Farm adjuster. That won't happen until sometime next week. From there, I'll decide when the work will get done. Frankly, by the time they peel off the clear bra, address the stress cracks and bends then sand, prime, paint the bumper, I have to almost believe it would be cheaper to just buy a new $600 bumper cover. If that does end up being the case, then the dealer simply orders the part, paints it, and then calls me in for the installation. That would tie up the car only one day. It's going to be a while before I find out exactly what and when everything is going to happen. Stay tuned. I'm thinking about putting on a Titan lift kit and just stop worrying about scraping!

The surcharge for filing the claim will cost me an additional $210 over three years (approx $70/year). I had the discussion with my agent yesterday. Basically, if the repairs cost more than the deductible and surcharge; i.e. $1,000 + $210 = $1,210, I'm better off making the claim. It will be only the second claim I've made in the 35 years I've been with State Farm, and the first one since 1986. I've got a really good agent, so I'm not concerned.

From a dollar standpoint that is correct. Sometimes you just need to be careful how the insurance company looks at it if you end up to start putting in multiple small claims like these on your policy.

I understand, but hopefully there won't be multiple claims, and as my history shows, two in 35 years isn't bad.

since you already have the parts from your current bumper (mounting bracket and all) would it make sense for you to do the bumper swap yourself? save you a day and probably $50 in installation or something. lol@ titan lift kit. |

Wonderful day to drive the Z in Great Neck, NY. Trying to get out of work early.
