if u were rear ended then it is probably more than 350 in damage because the actual bumper underneath is probably damaged then paint is about 150 so ur looking at about a grand in damage u can also tell the insurance company to use ford part only in the quote instead of aftermarket cause they will definitely fit better as for ur question about installition the cover just bolts on u have to remove the rear trim n the hatch area lift up the carpet and spare cover i belive there is somthing like 14 bolts inside eight across the hatch bottom floor three down each wheel well some plastic push in body snaps on the very bottom of the bumper and maybe two boths holding the bumper to the rear ground effects on each side

A set of roller rockers would be nice, and cold air intake with the rest.

Also a window tint would look awsome on a all black stang.
