I was down town when a woman tried to make a left hand turn from the middle lane!!! Luckily I always look in my mirrors, she was so damn blind I was passed her when she hit me. I was in the left lane and passed her then she turned right into me!! I hit the gas and swerved other wise she would have taken out my passenger quarter panel and rear tire but since I was able to try and avoid it she caught te passenger side bumper and scratched and scraped it. I thought for sure my new G4 light was gone but it was not hit at all. It ripped her whole front bumper off. I want my whole bumper replaced which they should do right? You can't get deep scratches out becaause that part is I guess plastic so they won't try and repair it will they? I want a new bumper and I would think they would have to replace it.I can't believe this!!!!

Wow, what an idiot I'm sorry to hear about your Denali. :(

If for some reason you have to end up paying for the bumper (which at all costs you shouldn't), you can always get one for 1/6th the price online. That's what I will do for mine since this idiot drove a forklift into my rear bumper cover.

Keep us posted.

If you have a deep scratch i the bumpers or hood you will need a whole new replacement for it.

If it's just gouged that is easily repaired and will not require replacement. If the plastic bumper is wrinkled or torn that is a different story but unless the damage is catastrophic plastic bumpers are repaired to brand new condition all the time.

its called plastic repair. if itll take the shop 1-2 hours at 55 dollers an hour to repair the scratches then the insurance would rather pay that then 500 dollers for an oem bumper. the brand we use is LORD Fusor 142 its really good stuff

Here is the damage

Alot of scratches and on the top part by the taillight is there is a little bump. The insurance guy came out this morning and said they have a machine to take out the scratches but when he saw the bump he said they would have to order a new bumper cover which I was happy about. He said they can order the bumper painted so when it comes in they might be able to put it on as I wait do you think they can do that?
