yes, they figured the energy absorber along with the bumper cover, the bumper cover might be a/m but the price was the about the same as the price I got from the Kia dealer for factory parts. Along with paint it comes to around $700, which is way more than Dave's bumper. So I should be good to go. I'll just have to let insurance company know what I plan on doing.
