So this is a prime example of why I don't like aftermarket parts. State Farm required that we use an aftermarket bumper cover on this repair, it came back in with the aftermarket primer peeling and taking my paint with it, note the black primer on the back of the paint. When we informed State Farm of them needing to pay to warranty the repair, because I asked for an OE cover to begin with, we were told to kick rocks basically. so we reached out to the the company that sold us the cover that State Farm made us buy it from and they want me to not charge for about a third on the labor and won't pay for paint an materials to paint it again. So this is a reminder to check your policies and if you can afford in anyway to get an OE parts rider to save you this expensive repair later.
