Some out-of-pocket now will save you 100's in premiums for years.Unfortunately we pretty much have to claim it because it needs a new front bumper cover in addition to the fog light, etc. Our last claim was last April for my wheel and tire and our premiums haven't been effected.Quote, originally posted by tpollauf »I agree with the "no insurance claim" on this one. When we get together next month at Buse park for a Chicago mini-meet, I'll donate my drivers side "black insert" fake side scoop thing-a magig Both of mine are coming out to make room for an awesome future mod So I won't need them. There's even the slight chance that I could have this mod done before the meet As far as the fog light assembly goes, you're on your own for that item. Good luck Thanks for the offer of your "black insert fake side scoop thing-a-magig" but it will all be getting replaced by insurance.*UPDATE* I took it to the body shop today. Turns out there's a pretty nasty crack on the underside of the front bumper cover, so that will be replaced along with the fog light, fog light bulb, fog light harness and outer grille. The owner of the body shop took pictures and notes and is going to have a written estimate ready for me to pick up tomorrow after work. He said he's really surprised it didn't cause more damage than it did.
