What did you do to your Sedan today?
Oh, forgot that you were having that issue, hopefully you can get it resolved, and better not leave that one off, lol.

Looks like that is mostly paint transfer, i only see two small spots where it's down to the plastic.
Get a clay bar, and some rubbing compound and you can get all that white stuff off, and the touchup paint for the spots where it's down to the plastic. You can get that looking fine again for like $30
And then of course, go after that idiot girls insurance and get money back for that.

Got my RJM pedal installed yesterday, today installed the TS plate along with the cf engine cover, installed new TB bolts, polished FSTB and intakes, and took off hood liner. Sooo much cleaner look now.

Well I tightened down the bolt/nut on my TMPS bracket as I think that is the source of a leak on my wheel. Called Forgeline and they are sending a new gasket kit to me! That's customer service and warranty I like! Than I put the car seat back in for my son.

Eek! Really sorry to hear that...
I had something similar happen to my G a couple years back... a girl backed right into my car as my wife was driving it through a parking lot. Thankfully your damage appears to be isolated to just the bumper. Mine was a bit worse.
Do you mean CX9? We drove it. Loved the styling, interior and size, but the engine felt under powered and there was a LOT of road noise. Runner up for us was a MDX with the tech package and AWD.
So far, so good with the Explorer. We both really like how ford executed the black trim on the white. Fun fact: only the white gets black door handles, the other colors get chrome.
It's reasonably fun to drive. The steering is heavily weighted, the suspension is firm without being harsh--not an easy combination with 20" wheels--and the twin turbo V6 has plenty of hustle. The SYNC is intuitive, and there are some redundant buttons so you don't have to always use the touch screen for simple stuff like adjusting the temperature or fan speed. I love the cooled seats.
I think I've got wifey 80% on board with getting a tune for it

Nice! A tune does wonders for that Ecoboost engine. I have a buddy with an Ecoboost F150 and it's amazing how much harder the engine pulls with just a tune and an upgraded exhaust.
I did mean the CX9 (no minivans for us ;-)... good catch. Did you drive the new CX9 that just came out this month or last year's model. I felt the new one was amongst the quietest cars that I've ever driven, but the old model was definitely a bit noisy and harsh. It just looks a bit too soccer Mom for the two of us. The Explorer, 4Runner, and Disco Sport are more our style.
Thanks for the nice run down on the Explorer too. Sounds like it might be worth a test drive in one before we make a decision. I'm curious if your Sync system supports Apple Play?... I highly doubt it considering it is a MS based system, but this is a very important feature that my wife would like to have on her next car.
Here's a fairly cheap solution (about $30) that a lot of guys here have used to out of their fix-it tickets. It just screws into your OEM front tow hook connection so no holes to be drilled and it can easily be removed.

if I had that much damage I might have been arrested for assault. That hurts just looking at it.
