My Day Ruined

[Faceless1]

Now I have a good reason to buy a new front bumper .


Insurance wanted $500 for my deductible and the part inst even worth that. So now i'm in the market for a new one. Perferably one of those sporty aftermarket ones people have been posting. Just gotta find who sells them and if they're willing to ship overseas.

What the hell is that?

U might be able to get a different front lip which should cover that or just have the bumper repaired

Lol, I said the same thing at first. This was the day after that big storm. Came down over a speed bump and bam...didnt even see it until i parked and got out. Guess it was some scrap metal that blown off whatever.

Either way, i know a mechanic who could probably fix it. Just wanted to know of any others I could by, if the price is right. Ideas???

a new bumper with the paint job for sure will be over 500 price tag.

Well i got the estimate done already. They were going to replace the whole bumper for $180. Don't remember the cost of paint job (don't have it on hand right now) but it wasn't $320 worth. They were charging a butt-load for the labor. I can put it on myself, courtesy of the diy on here. Painting would be my only concern but I know a guy who know a guy who know a guy

Your lucky it didn't go thru the Radiator.

I would go with an aftermarket frt bumper....It would look way better.

ouchhh

i had to get my front bumper replaced too...cost me 600 bucks when all is said and done

[aznsportcar]

get a JDM bandaid and slap it over it lol

[Faceless1]

^^lol, i just might or one of those bullet hole stickers. I'm very glad it didn't puncture anything. It was a good 8 inches in there.

[aznsportcar]

yeah.. IMO i wouldn't fix it right away if it was my car. it's cosmetic and from the picture, it looks to be a 1 inch by 1 inch square hole .

if it were to be my car, I would cover it up with a sticker or something until i found a good way to cover/fix it. keep bumper as spare too lol

found this site: http://www.usedpartslive.com/catalog...725+4294963123

its the 6th one down. comes primed and with slots for spoilers. I could reuse my original pieces and just get it painted.

Cheap ass! But seriously though, that's a good advice. I would just cover it with a cool bandage sticker if nothing else is broken.

lmfao when i had my accident i was gonna cover my hole up with bunch of stickers but then my parents wanted me to fix it and the hood couldn't open.. so claimed insurance and got it fixed. 250 deductible for a 2,000 dollar repair

what was stupid is that my car got broken into the same morning i was going to head out to drop off at shop.. wasted another 250 for window + tint.



hole was caused by the tow hook from back of a truck and hood bent from the bumper of truck. (stupid people who brake super hard and fast during traffic.. )

[Faceless1]

That would've been a big-ass sticker, lol!!
