So another update (yes, another slow day at work )

Took the rear flare off (two 7mm bolts in the doorjam + clips + two 10mm bolts inside the flare near the rear rear plastic corner cover). Of the 3-4 clips, only two were left, the others had gone to clip heaven. The plastic flare was bent forward (you can see it in the original pics).

I put one clip in the front, one in the rear (they are the pop-in style clips) and tweaked the flare to unbend it - there was no crease, so I was hoping it would just bend back. IT DID! Popped the clips in, retightened bolts and it's back to it's original spot - no bends! From 5' away you can't tell there is any damage (and the scrape marks fit in well with all the other scrapes on the truck).

So at least until I get around to fixing it, it looks serviceable and I can keep the flare for a spare. Plastic is cool!

Note to Bebe: I can't imagine what would have happened if I'd had your setup - he would have cheesegrated on the right rear ladder and probably ended up in a lot worse situation (of course I wouldn't have needed any repairs )

That's great. All "good is dumb" kidding aside, you did it right ... got all his info, filed a police report to cya and gave the guy a chance to make good. And then he did.

It's like some kind of fairy tale ending ... am I in the right forum?
