Insurance and Parts ???

I cracked the front bumper on my 05 due to the snow and ice (hit a power poll). I want to replace the 8 bumper with a 9. Will my insurance company replace it with a newer model?

most likely they will give you the money for an OEM evo 8 bumper in check form, and from there you can buy whatever. An IX front bumpre prolly cost about the same.

Depends on what company you have, your history with them, and how you interact with the adjuster who looks at the car. Chances are you're going to have to pay a bit out of pocket to get the newer bumper.

Its progressive insurance, and the guy seemed pretty nice. I told him that i didnt mind paying alittle out of pocket. I wonder if there is a online parts list with prices?
