[s-cars] Fwd: Re: FMIC - choices?

[brian bilotti]

Guys,
Here's my response to this thread. I didn't mention
Apikol's but should have. I'm told that Plasma cutting
the the bumper core isn't included and the mounting
position isn't as clean or solid as Dave's.

Dave, you're right, you have to do surgery to the
bumper just matters which way you wanna go as in my
earlier post. 

As far as insurance issues go, there are none. When
Edwin had his demise there was no question. I had a
professional appraiser go through the car and the full
cost was included in the appraisal.There was also no
question due to the alteration of the front bumper.

Oh, BTW, I'm an insurance broker so I have just a
little experience with this ;-)))
