Ugh, First Accident!


Recommended Posts

Good luck getting parts if you happen to need them. I was involved in a hit and run a few weeks ago (got him on camera). Dented my front bumper. Got a call today that parts are about 3 weeks out. I guess it’s to to be expected....

I am having my front bumper and right front corner components replaced due to a deer accident. GM sent my dealership 3 bumpers right off the line. My High Country

requires the bumper to be painted and your TrailBoss should be the same. Give Shaheen Chevrolet in Lansing Michigan a call. Their main parts department by the Bodyshop

which is on MLK Blvd has the other 2 bumpers as far as I know right now.

Welcome to the club, some guy took out my K2's painted bumper with a sail boat trailer at the gas pumps in September. Since it is drivable, insurance has basically held me off. Incident was 2 months ago to the day and I haven't even got approval yet and wait times are 1-2 months for body work here. My personal trucks are CLEAN, it hurts and pains me to drive it like this looking like a complete dummy who cant drive. My friends laugh and say its a small dent and scratch but to me, the world ended that day. My estimate from GM to replace bumper and fog light moulding (Morimoto fogs didn't get hit) was $2,612.67 CAD ($1,973.51 USD)

Total repair estimate is $3475. That includes the PPF and ceramic coating being redone, but I’ll have to wait 30 days after paint and hope I don’t get a rock chip in the mean time. I’m going to see if the body shop will spray it a little heavy in hopes it adds some durability. 

 

List for the bumper unpainted was $600, without any brackets or plastic pieces.

Chuck,

 

Just throw one of these on it :

 

2019-chevy-silverado-1500-front-bumpers.

Wonder what the weight of that thing is. With the lift tires and extra weight it would probably drop the fuel efficiency to 10 mpg lol.

I hear ya. It made me sick to come out and see it. Mine was a minimal dent too but I keep my trucks spotless so it was definitely a big deal to me.

Who cares about fuel economy?

At least you would win in a head on collision with a Moose! :thumbs:   LOL
