Damn that sucks, at least youre ok. To get it done right id say no more than 1500 to repaint the front and rear bumper. That dent is small and towards the edge, can be straightened out with ease.

Can you claim diminished value?
Yep your right. Someone with your eye will know its been in an accident, which is fine. I don't want someone without your expertise to be able to look at the car and see what we know. I picked up the car yesterday and it looks a great deal better. It was fittment issues (someone was tired or lazy or both).

I did a little research on Diminished Value and it doesn't look good. Florida does not recognize first party diminished value claims (meaning claims against ones own insurance company).

It actually cost a little over $3600! Front bumper was replaced, rear quarter was straghtened out and painted, front headlight was replaced (bracket was broken). I'm ok still going to the Chiropractor 2 times a week, but should be clear to resume regular activities/ Heavy lifting next week!
