From the pic it doesnt look like you need a bumper cover. Is the cover ripped or just scuffed up.

And dont beat yourself up over this you have a lot more driving ahead of you. Ive totalled out my sixxer twice now and rebuilt it in the garage. 1st time not my fault, 2nd time my fault.

Thanks, it was a lapse in judgement and just a dumb move on my part, it sucks significantly less once I got got the insuarance involved, nice to know my usual body shop guy is certified by my insuarance company. That was a huge load off my mind, and the other drivers been equally cooperative.

The cover has some pretty significant plastic bend/spider cracks near the pillar next to the grill and the wheel well is crushed in a bit, I'm just concerned about where the fender meets the bumper cover, there is a mount behind there that is a little bent

Don't beat yourself up. I tried to drift around a turn, hit some gravel, and ended up in a ditch. **** happens.
