Bumper got hit, which route to go?

So I parked at a lot by las olas riverfront on friday night, to go out to the bars there, and when I went back on saturday morning, I noticed my rear bumper was hit badly. I checked for cameras and stuff and nothing, so I'm on my own.

I was wondering if I should just go ahead and get a cs rear ( +impul sides) and pay with my own money (which sucks because I have been saving up the past few weeks, and I was ready to get a set of gunmetal Volk GTS's), or if I'm better off calling my insurance (Geico) and get it done thru them?

What would make more sense? Will my insurance go up? Will I even hit my deductible with only one body panel?


Thanks guys.

Pay it yourself bro. If you go through insurance you have to pay your deductible of 500/1000 and may raise your rate. Just make sure there is no damage behind it. Looks like you got tapped so I wouldn't think so.

Cheap fit is a blow dryer getting it hot and pushing it out.

yea.. if u use ya insurance they could raise your rate cuz they have to pay out.. which is a claim against you. Shows up on your "insurance record" That damage is not worth it.. like danny said.. take the bumper off and heat it up and push it out.. then repaint it.. it's not going to cost you 500 to fix

Thanks for the advices guys.

I went ahead and paid out-of-pocket for a set of poly impuls, and poly cs rear pre-order, should arrive here in about 4 weeks if all goes well.

So I guess rims will have to wait another couple of months, 20/25 mm spacers will have to do for now....
