The X got hit, upgrade ideas?
My friend accidentally backed up into my car. The damages are around the lower right rear end of the car. My back bumper, diffuser, and the stock rear lip (SSS) are all damaged. His insurance will cover everything. Should I just get them repainted and call it a day? or use some of the evil insurance company's money for a little upgrade?

I am open to all ideas

If it was an VIII or a IX it would be such an obvious answer. You can't really improve on the stock rear bumper here.

sounds like your muffler could be bent or busted?

maybe price up a OEM replacement muffler then also price up a aftermarket catback and see what happens.

its best not to try and rip off insurance companies (even though its their business model to us)

I vote for leaving it with stock replacements.
