xXLOUROXx · #1 05-08-2012, 11:43 PM

Hello guys, once again my luck is down and got into an accident on route 4 . My car needs a front bumper and hood hopefully thats all. Hoping somebody has one or the other or even both laying around. If anyone have websites even that I could find the parts that would be great or any suggestions im up for them. Unlike my luck the car in front of me did not even suffer from a stratch (f250) .... Again any help would be great and appriciated

Is insurance paying? Just get an aftermarket bumper.

If you got into an accident, insurance should cover it...?

the other car has no damage... instead of getting insurance into it ill just fix it myself.... what aftermarket bumpers are decent. I couldnt find any that were not fiberglass

I'm wondering how if the other vehicle involved wasn't damaged, yours is messed up. You either hit a tank or a wall. Yes I'm a Ford fan and I love the F-Series pickups, but they're not invincible.

In any case, replacing your bumper by yourself, having it painted, etc, is going to cost you more than your deductible might. But more power to you if you want to go that route.

i have pictures ..... and i understand that it might be a bit more... But insurance in the long run will be more then just paying it upfront... I was thinking about a cf hood and just getting a bumper and getting it painted.. On the cf hoods any recommendations ?

Going by past experience, Insurance is just to make the goverment (insurance lobbists) happy and to pay for Doctor Bills. You might break even or save a couple dollars using your deductible to cover for new parts, but I bet your rates go up and you'll pay for the parts twice. Just saying, I've never seen a starving insurance agent yet. I have also been sitting at a red light in a T-Bird and got ran over by a Dodge Shadow. My car had a small cut in the bumper cover, the Dodge on the otherhand was destroyed. smashed hood, smashed windshield, air bags deployed, whole front end gone. The Trooper walked up and said "damn those T-birds are built better than I thought" I am not saying don't use Insurance, but if the Truck wasn't damaged and their isn't a police report you'd prob be better off fixing it on your own dime.
