My Very First Accident

I've got one of Fasttrak's plate brackets, and a GT/CS front bumper now. I haven't tried mounting it up yet, but I'll give it a shot this weekend and see if it's even close to working. I have no desire to mount a plate directly to my bumper, and would rather pay the ticket than put holes in my car.
I really like the GT/CS bumper.

yeah me too- i'd pay a fine every day instead of drilling holes in my bumper.... i got an estimate today from two different places who both quoted about the same... 730.00 so i figure i might as well buy a new bumper i want instead of getting a stock one- since i have to pay for it anyway- ( my deductible is 1,000) oh well... whats the saying- when life hands you lemons.... get a roush bumper! haha

Go ahead and get the bumper you want. You and your husband can do the install yourselves in the driveway in about 40 min once it's painted. If you want to save money, get a take off already in Redfire and all your out is your own sweat plus the cost of the takeoff.
It's really easy to do, honest. I've helped do about 3 now including my own front and rear.

YES so KUDOS on you for building a TOP KNOTCH bracket! although- i might be able to bend it back in shape... if i buy a roush bumper- i'm not sure if it will fit.... if it doesn't i'll just stick the plate in the windsheild...

Ah you did the same thing I did, have high deductibles to keep the insurance cost down.

I'm not sure how it's bent, but you have to heat the aluminum before you make drastic bends or it will fracture. (30seconds with a Propane torch does it)... Let it cool (in about 4-5 days it re-hardens again)

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR wanna hear something $h!tty.... i get a letter from my insurance adjustor saying "i am pleased to inform you that your collision deductible has been waived" so i get all excited and call her up... well, my old adjuster is the one who's name is at the bottom, but she had turned over my case to a new girl- one who says "oh i'm sorry, that must have been sent out in error" gahhhhhhh so then i ask if i can speak with the woman who's name is at the bottom of this letter and she's "conveniently' unavailable... i'm so mad! i could have had my bumper fixed for free...
