Hello CSC,
For my introductory post I would like to ask for some advice and referrals. My daughter learned a hard lesson today at school when returning to school during lunch hour. Between balancing a drink in an insufficient cup holder and wet/slick roads, she made contact with a pole while turning into the parking lot. Luckily she, nor anyone else was injured. This will be a hard and expensive lesson for her, but hopefully it comes with a lot of learning.
Looks like most of the damage is confined to the front bumper, turn signal housing or attachment point, and front quarter panel. The front bumper had been previously damaged and was already barely hanging on, so no worries about that. I was seriously looking at the TJM T17 bumper for the near future anyways, so I'm mostly worried about the quarter panel and side marker.
Haven't decided if we should submit this to insurance or not. We've got a $1k deductible, and already pay big $$ for the teenager. Some advice on where to start this process would be greatly appreciated.
