Question I guess im unlucky...Now what to do

As some of you may know, i was in a accident and got my two bumpers and trunk repainted! Dis-stasified with the job but happy i got my car looking ok, on monday afternoon coming home from school, i was being a old vechile and i noticed this wheels wobbling so i back off from him about 15 feet i guess who knows, and like 3 mintues laters i think his center hub-cap thing flew off, mind you we're going around 60 mph, it bounced off the median and i thought it went under my car but instead it hit the bumper leaving its mark .

I ttok my car back to the shop where i got it painted and dude was like i had to pay 150 cuz he had to re-do the whole bumper so i was like fuck it im leaving it like that and now thinking of getting a kit, but i've heard rumor about kits that they give the car more weight? is this true?

Thinking of getting the evo4

im trying, im tryin

I just got another part-time job...but im not really sure about this one here..it was off craigslist in the NY area, ima try it out for now or at least till christmas is done with. Keep in mind that the car isnt fixed, it looks decent but the rear end is still caved in which sucks, im thinking of pulling it out some more becasue i opened teh trunk and on the drivers side rear panel, where the jack is there was a pool of water there... i was like WDF?! so i gotta get that checked out..im try to post a pic up by tonight but it end up being tomorrow mostly

But who else has a kit on their camry, is there any much difference in how it acts/drives?

honestly- kits do nothing except looks. Weight and Aerodyamics has nothing to do with it at all. Its advertised to do so; but it really doesnt.

these kits wont produce any changes, and even if they did it wouldnt be noticed until much higher speeds. Just find one you like and put that one on and be happy with how it looks.

Just forget about it.... not like the little scratch will impact you all that much. My dad left my rear bumper all screwed up, it sucks to look at but it doens't make much of a difference.

Yeah it does. Should have copied down his license number and put through an insurance claim. Or does ur insurance companies work differently?
