Ouch man. Good luck with repairs! Post up the repair pics when you're done!

Sorry to hear Luis!

The damage looks like it could probably be repaired though. You'd be very surprised what kind of repairs can be made to FRP, as long as you have a competent body shop.

Yeah, if that is fiberglass, that shouldn't be that hard to repair (looks like only one major rip/crack). I was just fiberglassing the 3 pieces of my racecar this weekend. No hard at all, just takes time to clean it up afterward.

I'm sure it could be repaired... If it wasn't his fault I would make sure a new part is purchased and put in place.

Basic crack, get the money for a new piece, and then fix the crack, pocket the money.

So whose fault was it?? Anyway to claim from the city or truck company??

NYBladeZ · 03-05-2012, 01:03 PM

looks like the rear quarter got a little dinged also. The insurance company should compensate you the cost of an OEM bumper so you can put that toward buying a new amuse bumper. I know its not genuine but UAM makes a good replica which would cost less giving you a quality replacement without busting your wallet.

Scorpio0124 · 03-05-2012, 01:16 PM

Dude... I'm so sorry.. Just think it could have been the the whole side or worse.

Hopefully insurance will pick it up entire cost & not just OEM replacement.

Am I the only one who would expect the WM company to pay for this?

They are responsible to pay for the damages, you can put a claim in with their company rather than putting one through your own. if you have a competent insurance agent I recommend you contact them and tell them you want to put the claim in with their company and not yours.

ALSO: I hope you got a police report documenting the accident

LMBmikeZ · 03-05-2012, 01:37 PM

Damn sucks to see another one take a hit! GL with submitting the bill! Hope all is paid out and fixed ASAP!
