Owned in front of my driveway

Long story short I have a big speed bump in front of my house that I use 4 boards to get over one of the boards broke and caused my lip to rip apart.

Before

After

My question is should I get a new front bumper or just get fiberglass work, insurance is taking care of it I have my car insured for $45,000

wow i just put it together that you had that car! i'd seen you around one of the times I was up in NOVA. Nice car man! I'm sure the new seats will look nice in there

Car looks good, fiberglass work will be expensive though, but if insurance is covering it then I don't guess it matters that much.

Just go get a quote on the repair and see what they say!

The car used to be silver, the blue is a reinforcement for the bumper IIRC.

I talked to the guy that said he can blend it,(Works at Lamborghini/Ferrari of Washington) I can get the paint for $1,000 (2 pints) and to put it on and blend it will be an additional $500 and the new bumper is about $700 so about $2500(after tax and additional labor) to fix it.

Get a new one and keep the old one for going out on spirited drives or rally's. You now have the perfect back-up bumper for fun stuff.

+1 on plowing snow with the front bumper, i havent gotten a winter beater yet so this should be an interesting winter to say the least (hence my licence plate for anyone who knows me.)
