Default aight guys need your help...

Alright.. So last night i was coming home from work on west vally hwy when i was involved in a hit and run case. I was at a red light in the left turn lane waiting to go. The other guy took a left and scraped the left side of my front bumper. I tried getting his plate etc. but it was raining and to dark.. Anyways the guy ran away and my bumper is f'ed. I need to know any good and cheap body shops around here that could fix this. Or would it be possible for me to just get a new front bumper and if so where could i get the front bumper and would i need to paint it. Heres the pictures... a few of the scratches will buff out im guessing but some are very deep. Also the bottom of the bumper got dented and cracked ....Also dont mind the chrome wheels im trying to get em off Asap..

that can't be fixed, you will need a new bumper , there is a guy in Richland washington selling a Nismo v2 replica bumper and sideskirts for less than you would pick up an OEM bumper for , plus paint I would guess $350 , sell the skirts and you're done!

Nope I have the same one , I also have a black one Nismo V2 from Shine I may have fixed down the road to use for drift days

I don't see why not? Ask them. Their parts department should be able to get it no problem, they have everything else.

It costs 875 for a stock front bumper? The stock bumper is a flimsy piece of crap. Hell you can buy a better front for less.
