The general message I am getting is:
1. It doesn't hurt to ask for diminished value, but don't expect much.
2. Don't waste too much time or effort on it, and have low expectations.
3. The $1-2K loss I will probably take down the road isn't really worth fighting over. Life isn't always fair and no one is going to go out of their way to address this.
I guess I will focus my attention on getting a high quality repair and making sure they replace the gashed, slightly displaced, and dented bumper cover rather than do some filler and paint job.
