Well as some of you may recall me posting about, i got rear ended earlier this week.
I finally got my insurance check and it was 670 ish.
I was really hoping to go from the gt bumper to the gt/cs bumper and just pay the difference but allstate decided to use a "reconditioned" gt bumper so they are only paying 170 towards my bumper. (the oem one is only 50 more)
so now if i want the cs bumper i have to pay the $300 difference.
Should i just pay out the cash or have them put it back to how it was?
$300 seems like an awful lot to spend on something that isnt that much different.
for me $300 is about a 1.5 weeks worth of work.

what would really help is some good shots of a cs rear on a redfire!

 

i would just pay for the cs one

 

In the end, its up to you.

However keep in mind the the insurance is also covering paint, refinishing, and putting it on. That alone, depending on what has to be done, could be quite a bit.

On the other hand, you have a money situation, so I would save that money and keep it in the bank for something else. If you didn't have that, then I would say go for it.

 

only pull the trigger if the cs bumper ties in with something that you have planned for the car. it's true that it's a lot of money to drop, but if you got your mind set on a goal with your car, you can make arrangements for it to happen.
