Watch where you park!

Someone backed into my front bumper when I was parked on the side of a street. It put a nice line-dent on my front bumper. Anyone have experience with this type of thing? Is this something a body shop can work out? Cost?

I got hit this week as well. But it was in the street while i was driving. person in front of me stops and i stop behind them. next thing i know the guy in front of me throws it in reverse and floors it. Heres a pic of the damage. If the bumper is really messed up or cracked you need a new bumper. bumper itself will cost about $300 + paint roughly $450-$500. If the bumper is dented in you can probably pop it out. if the paint is cracked then it needs to be repainted. Here are some pics of my damage. My estimate was $800 for a new painted bumper. let me know if you have any other questions. My estimate might be a little more because it is an IP color.

It was an Avis rent a car employee in an Avis car so the company is gonna pay for damages. The guy who hit me was a complete a**hole and would not exchange info. I had to call the police and the cop made him give it to me. I need to deal with his manager and not him so thats good. Im getting a whole new bumper. Hopefully a nismo.

looks like this is a perfect opportunity to get yourself a nice aftermarket bumper and get rid of those license plate holes.

maybe the nismo or 06 sport bumper?
