Hope everyone is ok.

A little of mother's spit, lots of beer, and plenty of elbow grease.. should buff right out. Heh.

Really though, sorry for that man. She'll be good as new soon enough.

It's already modded :{ ...... oops, *was*

D bag ran a red light. It was RED before he even entered the intersection. Lady behind him was nice enough to leave contact to be witness... said the guy just cruised into the intersection and didn't brake at all until collision

Good news is.. I don't have to worry about that gash in my bumper anymore https://themustangsource.com/f726/to...-paint-497872/

Sorry about your car. I had a mishap myself on Wednesday. I hit a dog coming from work. The damage is very minor, but has to go to a body shop to repair a 1/4 inch tear in the front bumper. Under the car there is a black panel that has a 5 inch tear. My biggest concern is car they match the paint. I tried my best to miss that dog but he ran right out in front of me after he dodged the car in front of me.

After closer inspection, my grille (from AM), CS surround, CS fascia and BOSS splitter are all scuffed up. Mother's Back to Black may help some but I don't think they will ever look as good as they did before and there's no real way to "repair" scratch marks on the plastic.

I guess my question is, would the insurance cover them? With the exception of the grille, everything else is made by Ford. I have a V6 PP so even the bumper wasn't "stock".. will that matter?

Sorry to hear, David. Was it some serious body damage?? or just the shop/insurance lagging?

If the other guy's insurance is paying, it doesn't matter if anything is stock. You could have solid gold hand made parts and they are liable. If your insurance is paying, they should be willing to pay up to the amount the original parts would have cost or anything beyond that as outlined in the policy (or rider which I am guessing you don't have - and don't need).
