I thought about the 'underinsured motorist' thing. He was driving a company truck but I still had my agent call his company barely two hours after the accident. Being first in line is a good thing.
I'm thought about upgrades while my car is in the shop...especially the GT500 bumper. Truth be told though, I hate the thought of losing the PP grille in the conversion.
I'm definitely going to investigate the 'depreciated value'. I figure if I'm losing retail value the insurance co.can at least comp a few mods, right?
Could be the time to purchase the FRPP 'power pack'.
I didn't get any pics yesterday. I had my camera on me but it just didn't register.
One more thing......if my son was still in school and looking for a car, I might steer him in the direction of the new Focus. It's no Mustang but it's a tight little ride.

RE: crunched
Not cheap, because you have to buy a bunch of parts...
Bumper retails for $543, then you need head lights (differents), grilles, fog lamps, brackets.
In other words, it's a 2 Grands dealby the time you paint it etc...
Good luck.

AH! That so sucks! I'm sorry you're stang took such a beating. I feel just like you though, even if I could trade for a different front end, I wouldn't just to keep my PP one. Now if someone could JUST make a bumper that fits the PP grille but doesn't have the stupid V6 licence plate notch I'd be on that like nobody's business.
Glad you're safe and unharmed...now gomilk that idiot's insurance co. for everything you're due!

I don't WANT a plate on the front, nor is it required in my state. I just want the clean look of the front end without the cutout for a plate that I don't want or need.
