sorry. Looking at it on my phone, so I couldn't tell if that was just the corner or more toward the bumper. If you're familiar with your deductible, insurance my get the vehicle back up to gorgeous again. If you have a high deductible, it may be worth it to check with your insurance about lowering it for the future. I have State Farm and $0 comp deductible cost me a whopping $7/month.

What'll happen is an adjuster or "Program provider shop" will inspect the vehicle, appraise the damages, and then repair. + side, vehicle is "Professionally repaired" which won't hurt a resale value. - Side, You're going to increase a premium if you file the claim.


EDIT:: Anyone know if there are tricks like Honda use to have? (IE Dry ice to super cool it, then warm water to make it expand and pop out the dent) I've never tried this, so please be careful if you do. I imagine it may flake the paint.
