So did you get rid of yours or something, why would you need a picture from somebody else?

Wouldn't that be considered fraud? I'm no genius but from what I can remember, being convicted of insurance fraud is a bit more expensive than replacing the lip. If you really did break yours, you should've taken pictures, that was your mistake...

if you rearended something or whatnot, insurance should cover your front lip. if you just messed up the lip, it's gonna cost you a lot more money in the long run to go through insurance. once you pull out a deductable, your insurance rates go up for (I think) three years. worth it?

I got hit by a POS uninsured motorist while my car was in a parking lot. The car has damage to whole front end. I'm just having trouble with the insurance covering the lip. I have pics of the car with the lip. But they want to see a pic of the broken lip.

don't show them a pic of someone else's broken lip, that would be fraud.
Instead what you should do is prove to them that it was a standard part on the EM1, contact Honda or something to get some documentation that it should be there and hence should be replaced.

Insurance just called they are going to cover the lip.

They did have to call Honda for validation that it was on oem part.

I pay a little bit more per month to have insurance cover aftermarket **** too. I paid 100 bucks for a 1000 dollar job to get a whole new front bumper, reinstall fogs, bumper plugs, and repaint my mugen style lip

I believe its AAA (Triple A), but I am not sure because my Dad pays for it, thanks dad! Also, my insurance agent is my neighbor so that might have something to do with it. He stopped over one day while I was outside vacuuming the whip and asked how much I had invested into it. I told him around 4 or 5k and he said to cover all that **** its only a little extra per month so my Dad told him to go ahead and do that.

Check sig. You drive a car, not a whip.

I am pretty sure Triple A is a roadside assistance company.
