That pristine new 05 Eddie Bauer is not any longer !!!1   
A little old fart pulled out in front of me doing 10 mph when I was doing 55 or 60 and I couldn't miss him.... of course he did get around in front of me so it's my fault !!!!
banged my left front -
front bumper cover,
upper bumper cover,
front valance panel !!!!!!
Since I've not had a wreck in YEARS I chose to do a $1000 deductible, so it's mostly out of my pocket..
Instead of going back stock, what should I do ?

Yeah, the ole saying "Ya should'a seen the other guy comes to mind"....
if'n I would hit him square it would have been bad - real bad.... but
I tried to go to the right shoulder,
there was a telephone pole there and decided to squeeze thru...
hardly knew I hit him...
(the main reason I have one of these beast for my lady to drive)
ut it was a pickup and the right rear was crushed,
the bed was arched in the middle over the right rear tire,
I would guess lots of frame damage underneath.....
we'll see...
HAVE to get it fixed... was too pretty before...
will post some pics... it really is not that bad considering the impact....
but now it can't be the prom queen

Thanks Scott....
but the grill is fine...
just the bottom bumper and bumper cover and valance are done...
My Body shop guy is looking for a "pull" from someone that put a ranchhand on theirs....
but he also has a used ranchhand that is in excellent shape with driving lights that he will put on for $450....
not sure we want that nor if that is a good price....
still considering my options !

Sorry to hear about your accident. lots of idiot drivers. they figure if they're in front you're 'following too close". I used to live in Listowel Ontario Northwest of here where the farmers did the same thing. I remember one incident as a pickup pulled out in front of me close enough I was deciding between the shoulder and if I had room tp pass (oncoming traffic), luckily I was able to slow enough to (just barely) avoid rear ending the idiot. he never even looked in the mirror as I nearly impacted him. Even my wife said a few words that day! 
In THAT particular town this is what the locals consider their safe "merge" as they DO consider it your fault as long as they get in front.
what'd the other idio- oops, I mean driver say?
Den.
