She's taking it in tomorrow for the estimate, deductible waived, free rental car, etc. She's just embarassed about it, so I'm making her drive it. I'll update when I get a $$$ amount. Luckily it drives with no issues, tracks straight. I wish the body shop could just take the insurance $$$ for the factory bumper and put it towards a nice winch bumper. People are giving those factory bumpers away on CL right now.

 

Take that girl out to dinner as a thank-you for "MOD" starting
Time to order up the carbon fiber hood; grill; stubby bumper and a set of flat fenders
Shucks with luck maybe budget boost; 33's and new wheels

 

They won't do that? My insurance company just said they would pay up to the amount it would cost to put my car back to stock but it didnt have to be stock parts. If there was a difference in price I had to cover it.

 

**********UPDATE**********

Quoted $5600 total cost to put her back to normal. Panels to be replaced are the hood, fender, grill, passenger flare, air dam, bumper, tranny cooler, fog lights and repair frame cross members plus paint/labor.

On a positive note, they will put on a bumper of my choice in lieu of the factory bumper

 

When my '13 JK had about 500 miles I decided to crash into a car that was backing up I was sick . But, the wifey said I probably need a stronger front bumper. Later when she was looking a the Jeep she asked if the winch had come with the new bumper. I mumbled something!!!

 

Try for an AEV hood!
