Hit and Run! =[

So a few hours ago, I was parked at one of the UCI parking lots. When I came back to my car, I saw a huge *** dent on my rear bumper driver side! I had my car for about a month too! What do you think the estimate is to fix that? Should I just get a new bumper?

You can pop that dent out yourself and buff the scuffs out. take a hair dryer to the back of it and push it out. or get a deflated soccer ball and a pump. stick the ball in there and start pumping away.

If anything, pop it out and get it repainted. Should be around 250-300

This doesn't look like someone was backing up. More like parking really fast. I would walk around the parking lot and look for car with damage to it to. I am sure they just re parked their car

I'm going to be the realistic one here and tell you to play it as safe as possible. Let a body shop handle everything.

That sucks man. I would probably get it popped out and repainted. Can help you in the long run too with resale.

Seriously man, I see people trying to park. And they are just going back and forth trying to get into a space. And it's not even parallel parking. And I've seen people just pulling into narrow spaces really fast. Makes me scared to park here

if he's going to pay that much, let the shop pop it out. it won't cost any more...

makes me scared to drive my G to UCI if i go there next year...

you shoulda walked around and saw who hit you, whoever has sractches to their right front bumper or marks of dg paint.

first of all, make sure its the right car...
then u have 2 choices.....

1.
he doesn't respect ur car, why would u respect him?

2. call the cops and tell them its a hit run (u already have proof of pics)


+1 on chargespeed though
