:werd: because you were hit you have the right to dispute the appraisal if they don't want to give you a new bumper. talk to the field appraiser and tell him exactly what the body shop said. put up a stink if you have to and make them get you a new bumper, and make sure its OEM, new or used will do.:thumbup:

I work in a claim center, so if you have any other questions...fire away.
