Someone new just moved into my house and even though I told them NOT to park in my driveway, they did anyways. I backed out without thinking, and bam, hit right into their car. A pic of the damage is attached. How the **** can I get this fixed? How much does a new bumper cost? There is no way this is going to look brand new again without getting the entire back bumper replaced. it even popped the turn signal light out of it's place. How ****ing much is this going to cost? I mean are they even going to be able to FIND another 03 orange bumper? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? also, Save your "you're stupid comments for another topic"

On the right side of the turn signal indicator it's ****ing bent up. I don't think this is salvageable.

Updated: More pics in post 19.

 

there's paint chips and marks where each side of the car hit it as well.

 

Before this thread turns into chaos, you screwed yourself. Take it to a body shop and have it fixed. I would estimate about 500 dollars to repaint, take out the dent, and buy the new turn signal.

Or you can search the classifieds for a used rear bumper in that color already.

 

I know that's what will happen in this thread, and I know it was my fault. The worst part was is I was pissed off about something else, so I hopped in the Z to go for a drive and calm down, then when this happened I was full blown raging. I mean punching walls, breaking ****, slamming doors. I was the maddest I have been in years,

 

so you think it's salvageable? They'll be able to fix all the bent up **** and scratches on it too? and have it looking good as new? Also the turn signal light isnt actually broken, its the the whole assembly popped out of its spot where its supposed to be in the bumper. So its pushed in now.

 

Not to be a butt-head, but I think you're freaking out over nothing. Post some more photos. I honestly don't see a whole lot of damage. The bumper is just plastic over foam insert. You should be a able to pop the bumper back out. You may need to replace the foam liner underneath, but it really doesn't look that bad. More pics would help.

Oh yeah. Quit getting into your car when you're ticked off. Nothing good comes of it.

If there is enough damage, you don't generally look for a matching colored bumper. The body shop would get a replacement bumper and paint it to match.

Maybe I am, but this car is one of the few things I have, and it's a big part of me, so I was pretty mad. I wash it every week, I polish it every week with that spray quick detailer, I put a carpc into it. It's a big part of me.

 

I understand your love for the Z, but it doesn't define who you are. Take a deep breath and step back. Take it from someone who has hit two light poles thereby totalling both cars, it ain't that big of a deal. The car is replaceable. I got hit in my Z within a couple of months of buying it. Made my week less than enjoyable, but I got it fixed and it's still my baby.

Definitely post some more pics if you can.

 

Similar thing happened to me, you are going to need a new bumper if the turn signal popped out or is loose bc the bracket is broken, and it's non-repairable. And they can use any year bumper and paint it to match no prob.

 

You fcuked up. Good thing it's a pretty cheap lesson to learn, all things considered. Get it fixed and move on with your life.

 

maybe also look into some anger managment. not trying to be a dick but running around breaking things and putting holes in the wall is a problem

 

Not bad at all brosef, get the parts you need and get it fixed.

No need to freak out.

 

LOL that is nothing .. my car was hit a few days back and its in shop now with over 8k of damage...
thank god for insurance and my rear bumper was wrecked...
stop whining

 

BTW who moved into your house. Squatters?

Shouldn't you ALWAYS look back before backing up? Even if you THINK there might not be anything behind you

It's your fault OP

Shyt happens. Lost my bumper a few years back. Bought a new one for $300. Got it painted for $300. LeMans at that.

It can be fixed, but new is what I'd do. See if you can get a used bumper from someone then have it repainted. May be a few $100 cheaper.

Don't worry, accidents happen. Your review will be your best friend now.
I'm just grateful it wasn't a kid back there.
