Yes, cause I know she cant drive.
Still looking for pics
If I kill her who's going to pay for the damages
Camera phone doesn't do it as much justice as it deserves.

I'm going to take it to a highly recommended body shop either today or tomorrow. I am thinking they can pop it back out and then paint the bumper. My aunt's 350Z was backed into twice and used this same shop where they popped it out and painted it and I couldn't even tell it had been hit.

Haha, I don't think she would fall for that. I am taking it to a body shop tomorrow to see what they say. If I do have to get a new bumper, then maybe.Originally Posted by reconJDM

It'll pop out.
Well I went to a few body shops a couple days after the incident and got some quotes. Every shop said that they couldn't pop it out and that bumper needed to be replaced. They ranged from $800 to about $1300. The $800 place was actually recommended to me by my aunt who had her 350Z repaired there twice. Needless to say I went that route. My mom paid out of pocket so insurance wouldn't rise on us.
I have the car back now and it looks great. They replaced the bumper and one of the amber corners (I should of used this as an opportunity to get clear
), and also straightened my fender out (it got rolled up some on the edge). They painted the bumper and faded the fender back where it had been chipped. I was worried that the paint was going to be a noticeable difference since they factory paint on the rest of the car is 4 years old. However, it looks great and I can't even tell that it had been painted.

Samething happend to me.. Im sitting in here on the computer and my mom starts calling my name.. I dont know why but the first thing that came to my mind was that she dropped my bike. Sure enough as i round the corner to the garage my bike is laying on the ground. This was not a good feeling at all. She was supposedly moving it inside for me and she thought she put the kickstand down but of course she didnt. Good luck with the dent.
