I filed a claim with state farm, but I don’t really want to repair the damage right now.

I hit something with my car, which caused a small, tiny crack in the grill, and a couple of very very small paint chips.

It's not even noticeable at ALL.

I went directly to the body shop who said I need a new bumper and grill and all kinds of other stuff I don't remember the names of. Casings maybe. Whatever surrounds the headlights.

They aren't damaged, so i'm assuming they have to be replaced if the bumper is.

I am gutted at the amount. I have a thousand dollar deductible because I normally don't do stupid things 😉.

I don't want to pay a thousand dollars for it to be perfect!

I was going to at first because I asked her if it's going to worsen being left alone and she said yes… But she could just be trying to sell body work.

I don't know, but can I just leave it and see?

How long do I have to decide whether I want to pony up 1k?
