TRAGEDY! looking for some advice!

My parked car was hit for the first time yesterday. I am so pissed off at the situation. One of my co-workers backed into my passenger side quarter panel & the bumper. She had all the room in the world, was on her cell phone as she backed into my parked car (she doesnt care about her car, she had a few other accidents and never got her car fixed). It's women like her that give all of us other women a bad name in driving I know it could have been worse, but being as how if I have even a small scratch I FREAK, so I'm extremely mad!

Anyway, I was thinking now since my whole bumper will have to be repainted and fixed, that I should just go ahead and have them put a kenstyle back bumper on my car. I think it would look nice, but I'm concerned that it might look a bit wierd since I dont have any other kit parts on it. So I'm looking for opinions or pics... (did a search and i wasnt able to find a pic with JUST the BUMPER) Also, I was wondering if anyone knew of where I could buy the bumper for a decent price. I dont mind if its a replica, but I have seen some pretty crappy ones, so it would have to be a good copy.

PS: she also put a nick on my 3 week old rims!


here are some pics

IMO kenstyle is too much for a stock car.


If you don't have anything else go with Impul

Much nicer bumper and very close to stock. Will compliment stock car very well.

looks like your stock bumper will not need to be replaced.

Just repainted and that's all.

If you're not able to get any other pieces (sides, front), then I would stick w/ the stock bumper. If anything, you can get a nismo diffuser. Good luck.

I was expecting al ot worse than that. Definatley needs to be painted. Please make sure that when you get the areas repainted your paint looks nice, and the reflection is perfect. If the reflection is like a distorted mirror image tell them to fix it.

Too bad you work with her, they say to forgive and forget. But it could always be worse.

There no need to replace the bumper, just some minor body work, if any and a new paint job on her.

That rear that Joker posted looks good if you plan more subtle mods in the future. If you are looking for more agressive I think I would go with fixing what you have.

Ditto, and a front bumper shot as well.
