Triple a ripped off parts of bumper

So the towing company sent out by triple an attempted to hook my car from underneath. When he realized it was too low he told me and started to winch the hooks back up. I looked away for a split second to talk to the mechanic(guy in hoodie) and when I looked back a piece of my bumper was being dragged away by the winch. I thought that it just ripped off the piece but upon further inspection there is a gash in the the back part and also a gash through the white part as well. There are also a bunch of clip parts that are ripped open so the piece won’t mount back to the bumper properly. Also because they are all linked together parts of the black pieces on the left and right corners was also ripped out of place. In one picture you can see that it was not just popped out of place, part of the clip area is completely ripped

What are my options right now? I filed a damage claim with triple a but they barely gave me any information and basically said we will call you back. I looked online and many people ended up waiting for months to get any sort of conclusion. What if I just use my insurance? I just want to get everything fixed on their dime. What’s the best way to handle this?

The whole intercooler is now exposed. Can I even drive it or will I end up ruining the intercooler since there is nothing covering it. And winter is going to be here soon.. this really sucks.

Vibrations coming from within

Is it possible to remove this piece? I know there is an airbag inside so I would need to disconnect the battery. I can’t seem to find a video on how to remove or what this piece is called. Something inside of it rattles on start up and also sometimes while driving.

What could this be from?

I got some black stuff on my turbo blanket. It comes off but doesn’t smell like oil. Haven’t noticed any oil smells when driving around. Could it be the wastegate rubbing on it? Or could it be oil? Also waste gate has a darker area at the top now. My tuner said that my waste gate was 2mm off but that it wasn’t anything crazy. Also if you look between downpipe and turbo there is like a line of what looks like rust? Any feedback would be helpful🙏🏽

Edit: could it just be from getting very hot? I am custom tuned and it is pretty hot outside right now. I have driven it around quite aggressively.

Chirping sound coming from engine bay

This chirping started a little over a week ago. Doesn’t sound like it’s coming from serpentine belt. It’s coming from the other side of the engine I think. What could it possibly be? Turning off AC didn’t make it stop so nothing to do with that I guess?
