Merry Christmas to me....
NOT! a friend of mine backed into the vette yesterday afternoon, i only had it out to wash it so i could put its new cover on before the snow!
the fiberglass mounting point cracked off the front of the fender... my clear bra took a direct hit and has just a scuff on it on the front bumper, and theres a small crack by the parking light

ummm yea a body shop will get a whole new bumper cover that's 1000-1500 only for the bumper and don't let the fender be bent OMG that's a whole other bill there ,then paint, labor come on a corvette OEM part cost alot of $$$
and a really anal owner isn't going to settle for used parts or something junkyard so in the end this is almost a $5000 job i bet you that much

You bet? OK, lets bet $200 that this isn't a $5000 job.
:looks down at his estimator's license:
"bent" fiberglass eh? Man, you're right....that will be a $5000 job since the FIBERGLASS is bent. VERY tough to fix bent fiberglass lol
It's hard to tell the extent of the damage to the bumper cover but based on the photo it's repairable...and ANY insurance company would write repair on it(unless it's torn and ripped which it doesn't look like it in the photo). THE ONLY thing going for the replacement angle is that it's near a mounting point but any shop with a decent body man can fix that. That saves bumper replacement and full paint, eliminates the need to blend the right fender.
Shall I keep going(because I can get into the fender repair too) or you gonna keep telling this guy he's gonna be rich off of this minor fender bender?
I'm not trying to be a douche(that just comes naturally for me) but it gets to me when people make up stuff or talk out of their asses to make them feel special. I'm sure he'll get an estimate or two and they'll fix it...but if you think an insurance company would pay anywhere near $5K to fix that I have some ocean front property in AZ to sell you. Just because it's a Corvette with a pompous owner(just kidding man lol) doesn't mean the repair should be bloated.
EDIT: Sorry for coming off a bit strong(horrible habit of mine), just trying to state the facts.
