Angry New Bumper

Well talk about having bad luck

I have been in a big dispute with the Service department with my car. Ever since I have bought the car it seems like I have to take the car back in the shop so they can fix the same things over and over. Well I finally get things resolved with the President of the Dealership. So he tells me just go and enjoy the car. I told him I will and thank you.

So I am on my way back from a furniture store with my girlfriend when all of a sudden I see the truck in front of me throw up a tire, which was not his, not knowing where it came from. I look to both my left and right to see if I can swerve to miss it. No luck cars on both my side so I decided all I could do was try my best and aim for the middle of the car while slowing down. Well the tire suddenly changed direction and hit the passenger side front bumper. I pull over ASAP to check the damage. Well there is water dripping from the wheel well. I was like damnit, then I went to check the front bump. Tire marks all over! Then I finally noticed the crack in the front bump with a little-bit of a bulge right above it. It was to late for the dealership to be open so I drove it home.

When I further inspected it, I notice that the water that was dripping had a blue tint to it. Finally figuring out that is was just the windshield wiper fluid hince why the light was on when I pulled the car out of the garage.

Well I am really upset since the car is only a month old and now I need a new front bumper

So what I was thinking is should I just go a head and get the full nismo body kit or just replace the front bumper with a OEM one?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

-David
