Unhappy Someone Hit Me..

Hey guys,

I came home from work yesterday and noticed that someone hit my bumper. There was no note left whatsoever so I am going to eat this. I already waxed the area today before I took these pics. Do you guys think I should repaint the bumper or should I have someone fix the area that is damaged? Anyone have a black onyx bumper for sale? =)

What do you think it will cost to do this?

No need to feel bad for me because things happen and there is nothing I can do.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

On a side note, if I had that wald kit on, I would be crying. hahahahah

The only way this could happen in my mind would be that the person next to me backed out and did not have enough room to turn. Therefore instead of backing up a lil more to turn the wheel, I am assuming they went ***** out and all of a sudden, a BAM MARGERA...

Sorry to see, the damage does not look to extensive, perhaps some hand glaze/ wax and touchup paint?

this is bad man, sorry to hear that. at least it doesn't seem too bad. but you probably wanna get it repaired before painting, coz' the damage is too much to be covered just by spray paint

You are getting a bodykit anyway. I would just leave it alone until then, no reason to waste money getting it painted just to take it off later. Sucks though, sorry to see that.

Damn Panda!! Im glad your car is looking sharp as I saw it sqeaky clean at the EOS. It'll cost me 300 to fix, but my deductible would of been 500 anyhow. hehe

Sorry to see this
I've had that happen too and the "nice" person cracked my tail lens. Your car is pretty low back there...for another car to hit it that way

Isn't the Wald kit an add-on valance piece? If so, I'd just hang till you paint those pieces.

Bryan- sorry to hear about the accident I too had someone back into my trunk denting it and the person split. This happened four days after I got the car (my 1st gen).

Hopefully it can be fully repaired so your super-clean car will remain unblemished.

Thanks everyone for your comments!

Hey Eric,

Did you use touch up paint to fix it or did you have it repaired? thx

Bryan
