Someone backed into my car! What do y'all think this'll cost (getting an estimate tomorrow)?

Do you think I should just use the money I'm given to fix the bumper and use it to buy a new aftermarket one?

 

Buy an aftermarket one!

 

Damn, they did that much damage. Did they at least leave a note?

 

Looks like your hood is ok though...could have been worse.

 

that sux man!....

 

Yep! I consider myself lucky that only the bumper got stuff. The hood is aluminum but the bumper's plastic, so that cut down on cost.

I got a phone number and a name on paper.

 

damn that sucks.

 

I consider yourself even more lucky, assuming the name and number are both valid. A guy I work with got his Z backed into and all he got was a note saying sorry and a 100 dollar bill tucked under his wiper. Cost him a little over 500 to get the bumper repaired.

 

Sorry to hear, man. At least they left you contact info, I didn't think people did that anymore.

 

I got you beat I got my car in a monday and got hit head on by a Semi on wed. 7k in damage. then got the car back and some dusch at work backed in to the fender leaving a smalllllllll dent the dent cost me 600 bucks to fix so I say maybe 500-900 to fix your car.

 

go through your insurance and have the body shop install the aftermarket kit for a lot less.

 

Damn, that sucks. Atleast they left contact info. Make sure you go through a professional body shop so it gets fixed properly.

 

A lot of my friends laugh and ask me why I always park my car way in the back of parking lots. I'd rather walk an extra hundred feet than park with everyone else and deal with my car getting dented from car doors and backed into. But of course sometimes $hit happens and you can't avoid it. I'd go with an aftermarket front-end man..cheaper and some of them are better looking.

 

Damn. I thought a fat rock chip my first week was bad. This truly sucks. On the plus side, a bumper replacement is an almost trivial repair.

 

it could've been worse...bumper could be fixed or just get a different front

 

Damn...sorry to see that.


Wanna do 2-men group buy for Amuse front bumper?
Maybe they can knock of 10 bucks for each of us

 

Could have been worse.

 

ouch ! sorry to hear that =( well least you have the option of going aftermarket

 

I feel you 100% I always park in the back at work. The thing is I have to worry about car thiefs or teenagers ****ing with my car while i'm at work.

Things will turn out for the better man trust me it always does. Just never seems like it at the moment.

 

woah... i got hit by a semi too. 7k in damage also. wierd.

except the car was parked when it happened to me.
