How old are you? if you have a clean record and good credit no need for you have something that high to save a few dollars per month.

Completely disagree, $100 for deduct is way too low and costs you alot more money overtime. $500 min. for each or $1000 for collision.

I'm with GEICO! it's only $6 from 100 to $500 and $12 from $100 to 0.

I not paying $500 because someone hit my car in parking lot at left or my front wind shield gets hit or a act of God!

OP,

I know that there are some Blue Slate IPL bumpers for cheap online. If you want, I have a sport bumper sitting in my garage that you can have for free, if you pay for shipping. It has a little damage on the bumper and needs to be fixed. PM me for details if you want. It's going in the garbage.

Can anyone answer this question?

If I were to buy that, would I need to change the washer tank, or is that only necessary when also adding fog lights?

Dealership quoted ~$950 for a new bumper cover with paint.

I took a look on eBay, but the only Blue Slate one is damaged. This is a rare car for the area, so finding something local isn't going to happen...
