    Sorry, dropped the ball on updating. Total repair was $6693, no frame damage. Both rear fenders & tailgate repaired & repainted, spare tire carrier was damaged & replaced, no damage to bed itself. Overall, 15 days in the body shop & looks like nothing ever happened. Can’t say enough about the body I used. They did an incredible job.

    Was told I need to provide evidence of loss of value. They told me if I were selling or trading it in, there may be a case for diminished value. I check with both his insurance & mine, got same answer from both. Don’t know if there’s any other way to claim it.

    I just wanted it done right & knew the body shop I used would do a great job. Used them a few years ago on my wife’s old car when it was hit & you couldn’t tell anything had happened when they were done.

    Oh I don't fault you for going that route at all. I am happy you are happy. I just want me some dope new bumpers and would love to get rear ended without frame damage and be able to collect a $6k check.

    Holy shit, 6 grand grand for that without frame damage? I honestly thought that would have been a 400 dollar bumper repair job. Did the bumer even hit the bedsides? Looks like it didn't in the photos.
    EDIT: I didn't read where you said bedsides were flared out. I wonder how they fixed that without replacing them.
