Update for those of you who remember this previous post.

I just received the check tonight from my insurance which should cover the repair for the damage and they have ruled it not my fault so my insurance will rate not be affected, I will end up not coming out of pocket at all for this repair since I have friends with bodyshops.

My insurance is also pursuing a claim with the city to get back my deductible so hopefully they can come through and I will actually make some money off this lol

that is a good news Waizzz, congrats on the claims and also the insurance company will pursue the deductible for you.

Hope you will get it fixed very soon.

Thanks Alcheng!

Lucky for me that I had an extra stock bumper to use so I didn't have to scramble for something else in the meantime.

Good morning all.

Just another day in Paradise. At least it looks like I'll get my first Friday of the year off (we work a 9/80 two week work period - every other Friday off). Since I've been averaging about 85 hours per week, I'm do a little R&R.

Have a good day everyone.

I will call them tomorrow and see what they say.

Should be about $450 max for a repaint, it's been three years since I had that bumper so it was time anyway.
