Wow that really does suck, especially when the person did not own up to it.

If you do decide to purchase a new bumper, the facelift rear bumper is also an option, if you prefer that look of a bigger diffuser.

Based upon your picture taken, (or me being that I am on the mobile forum) I cannot really determine if this can be a paintless dent removal job.

Yes, you are right. Now that I am on the PC(desktop version) forum I can very well determine that...Mobile Forum parallaxes things a bit...

A couple of months ago this happened. No note or anything. I was at work and when I left this is what I saw. The security cameras show some boob tearing into the parking space next to me like no tomorrow just to go to the redbox machine. It's repaired but seriously...I just cannot look at it like before.

valve stem removal tool. Costs about $2.

Remove the valve stem from a few tires and no amount of air compressors will help. Most dunces will have no idea whats up.

Two months after I got my new C300, some idiot scuffed the rear bumper. I go to university, so I make sure to park away from the others as much as I can. Once I noticed it, I got it fixed right away. In another instance, someone spat on my driver's side window. This happened during the winter and the cold temperatures made it freeze. Jerks!

I can one-up you... Had my front passenger door backed into which crushed the door and blew out the window. I know who did it...my wife!!! She started backing up and didn't see my invisible (sarcasm) car parked behind her. Didn't leave the slightest mark on her Expedition (hit me with the trailer hitch.) Anyhow, it was fixed and is as good as new...


Hope yours comes out as good as new too!

Even when I park far out in the middle of nowhere, I still take the corner spot. Finding good parking is like the best thing in the world

I was at a target parking lot with probably 30 cars and parked 50 yards away from the rest. When I was walking towards the store, these ricer thugs literally parked right next to me. Once I saw this I immediately turned around and got back in my car and just left. They were laughing but I didnt care. I didnt want her to get dinged.

Its frustrating that someone would go out of there way to screw with a stranger.
