Default Got rearended by a cop. Advice needed.

Well i got hit by a cop today it was totally his fault. there is only sight work that needs to be done mostly paint and maybe a tiny bit of bondo. Now should i romove my rs body kit or leave it? I will keep the spoiler one because that is not getting painted and it will look funn, and my car never had the front bumper one thanks to the previous owner. What do you guys think.? All the damage was done to the rear bumper none anywhere else.

here is a picture before the hit:

X2 man! They'd be on you like stink on ****. At least get a nice hefty estimate from a shop and do it the cheapest, but right, way you can. use the money for other stuff.

sue the **** out of him. Claim "mental distress" tell them you still have bad dreams about the big, bad cop hurting your baby and then getting out and clubbing the **** out of you. Oh, and neck pain and back pain, I sense a lot of this coming on. Not sure if you are going to be able to work for months.... So now you have a fucked up car, neck, back and PTSD. That should bring the grand total of damages to 1 million.

again THIS WILL NOT WORK. This type of **** pisses me off cause people dont understand how fucked up the court system is. Do not sue him. simply get a few estimates and tell the city they need to pay that amount they will and its all good you will lose money if your try to sue TRUST ME
