CJ	Fortunately, neither one of my cats has been in an accident. My trailers, however, are a different story!
mxk	02 no bumpers. Got cut off, spun out over center curb, got speared by a sign. My fault for "failure to retain control of the vehicle". 3 bent wheels, destroyed right dragon panel, bent supercharger manifold pipe. Looks like it's gonna be about $7K before I get it back.
onecatnodog	Golf cart cracked my rear pass. side fender. HIT AND RUN My labor with input from Bob at Real Rod, stone guard from Jeff Hunter at Rick Hendrick Jeep and great body work from Jeff Burton at Autoworks International just under 500.00 spent. Its great to drive the car again if it would quit raining on the weekends... onecatnodog
onecatnodog	Oh yea 1999 black Prowler has bumpers and thanks to all that posted to help me thru this ruff time with info from this site and all that came forth with body shops names and address it made the repair quick,cheep and easy
Rpowell593	Results so far are very enlightening please keep them coming. But so far it looks as if: A) Bumpers make ZERO difference or perhaps ADD to the cost of repairs, and B) If you get an accident it will be costly, so might as well max out on your deductible - have a $1,000 one in place. I also assume: C) Most Prowler drivers are EXTRA careful when driving their cars so accidents are less likely to happen in them, and perhaps why these probably $10K / average claims (I know we haven't heard the total stories that are out there) don't kill us on our insurance.
tangled up in BLUE	backed into once by a rusty Toyota pickup, he ran,I chased and caught him.... 2000 Yelo....zero $$$ damage, front bumper took the impact....so, uhhhhh, I took them off
butchcee	Got caught by a hubcap coming off a car on the Brooklyn Queens expressway. Couldn't dodge it as I saw it coming towards me in traffic. It caught the passenger door, rear stone guard and rear quarter. They wrote up the estimate for $1200 including the guard replacement. Didn't have to paint the door as it buffed out. He had to shoot the car three times to get the yellow to match. He took off the rear quarter to paint it.I had 500 deduct that I didn't pay and it cost me $200 out of pocket to paint the bumpers to match at the same time..
BeWare	No accident but I have had the following. Prowler bra got wet and not from rain. Its a long story. It fogged the paint on our hood. It Cost $400 to have it repainted. Someone dumped a load of siding all over the road stretched across four lanes. No avoiding it. Everything on the car got scratched except the hood and trunk. I never did see the estimate but I an sure it cost several thousand. The completely disassembled and painted the entire car except the deck lid as it had a mural on it. However they did apply a new coats of clear to the deck. Beside our $500 deductible , we paid an extra $800 for custom flames. My trailer bra got damaged from chunk of 18 wheeler tire in the road. Had to pay $150 to get the bra repaired. It also cracked the trailer fender. I have never had that repaired as the bra hides it.
