[QUOTE="Ski4Ever, post: 1557722, member: 31314"] I was parked yesterday and somebody ended up scraping the entire driver's side of her Honda Civic/Accord across my front bumper as she tried to back out of a parking lot. From what I can tell, she ended up doing the following damage to the truck: [LIST] [*]Scraped the plastic ends of the '[URL='https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-trim-panel-hl3z17b968ab?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9YnVtcGVyLWFuZC1jb21wb25lbnRzLWZyb250Jmw9MTQmbj1Bc3NlbWJsaWVzIFBhZ2UmYT1mb3JkJm89Zi0xNTAmeT0yMDE5JnQ9cmFwdG9yJmU9My01bC12Ni1nYXM%3D']Trim Panel[/URL]'. Doesn't look like it can just be buffed out in order to get it back to original. [*]Bent the license plate. Not sure if the '[URL='https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-license-mount-hl3z17a385ab?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9YnVtcGVyLWFuZC1jb21wb25lbnRzLWZyb250Jmw9MTUmbj1Bc3NlbWJsaWVzIFBhZ2UmYT1mb3JkJm89Zi0xNTAmeT0yMDE5JnQ9cmFwdG9yJmU9My01bC12Ni1nYXM%3D']License Mount[/URL]' was bent/broken in the process. [*]Left a few scrapes in silver paint on the bottom metal part of the '[URL='https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-front-bumper-hl3z17757a?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9YnVtcGVyLWFuZC1jb21wb25lbnRzLWZyb250Jmw9MSZuPUFzc2VtYmxpZXMgUGFnZSZhPWZvcmQmbz1mLTE1MCZ5PTIwMTkmdD1yYXB0b3ImZT0zLTVsLXY2LWdhcw%3D%3D']Front Bumper[/URL]'.

[/LIST] I'm not sure what the insurance company is going to say, or how much I'll get (based on whether they think things can be repaired rather than replaced), but I'm wondering if now would be a good time to upgrade to a new bumper. I have a few questions related to that: [LIST=1] [*]I have the triple bezel fog light kit with 6 lights in the bumper (I believe I have [URL='https://offroadalliance.com/collections/2017-2019-raptor-6-lights-w-bezel/products/kit-4-rigid-ind-dually-lights-2-kc-flex-lights-and-17-raptor-triple-bezels-hw-bf']this one[/URL]), and I'd like to keep the lights, so I need (want?) a bumper that allows for the lights to be mounted in it. I've seen that most of the aftermarket bumpers relocate the lights that would normally be in the end cap to the middle of the bumper. I'm guessing that's not as optimal a location as having them spread out a bit, but I would assume you can adjust the light alignment a bit so that the floods can properly light up areas off the side of the road, etc, right?
