Sorry to hear,see this Tom.Ive been rear ended 4 times in my Corvettes over the years,never a pleasant situation.As far as the insurance goes,be a hardass and get every single part for that car new,at least new prices.Last NOS bumper I saw was $2500.Id get MY estimate for damage and have the check made in my name and Id fix it myself.It would be interesting to play stupid and just see what kind of estimate the responsible parties adjuster would come up with.I absolutely love tangling with insurance companies,love it.I have a copy of the State of California Motorists Bill Of Rights,hope I dont have to use it.........EVER.Tom,glad to see the damage didnt get into the quarter panels.At the very least I see nice used bumpers so they are out there.Id hate to pay the shipping fee to get one,but you aint paying so thats a plus.
