ok...made a booboo...
So I go to get my tint and sub installed today. I have owned this 02 amg c32 for 2 weeks now. I am done with the day. Tint is on, looks AMAZING! Sub is real nice 1k on the entire professinal setup. With a new digital alpine AMP. I am smiling and everything is GREAT. Backing out of the Fu()king parking lot and my stupid azz hits a utility pole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I really would have cried on the spot if I wasnt so angry. I have owned 5 cars previos and have never had a single blemish. No parking lot miss-haps, nothing. Now I get the car I want, the one I have dreamed about. The most expensive of them all in my collection, and I break the sob. Ill take a pic tonight and post it. I really dont want to go out there and look at it again. It was a real slow backing up but a solid hit. So I need a new trunk and rear bumper. The pumper has a 5-6 inch split in the middle. there is a thum size indentation on the deck lid right above the M star. The third break light survived. (Unusual) It was dead on in the center of it. So fourm... What can I do about getting this fixed? New parts? Repair? Lorenzor bumper and a new deck lid with a spoiler is what I was thinking. I have no clue where to find any of this kind of stuff. Someone got some ideas? or know someone?
Could claim it on insurrance and say it was a parking lot thing, "didnt see it untill i got out of" (insert places this car has never been) =walmart, kmart..etc. oh well then it will show that it was in an accident. Then on the other hand, will I ever get rid of her????

new trunk will be needed and of course new bumper. Other stuff bodyshop can take care off. Slow speed shouldn't leave too much damage inside.
if you're looking at new bodykits, check out Brabus, Carlsson, Lorinser, etc. either in Classified or with sponsors like me or Euroteck.
good luck. sorry to hear about the damage.

Beware of the "Evil Eye"
I'm telling you...someone probably said something, and didn't bless it...they must've had the jealousy in the heart...that what does it. Same thing happened to my car...a group of ppl say, "Hey you don't need to clean it anymore!" Next thing you know, I got such a bad curb rash on my Lorinser rim that it has to be re-chromed...it happens, but you know, it makes me realize as much as we love our cars, in the end, it is just a car...

Sucks dude..
Mine isn't quite so bad as yours.. but I've been there. I got one of Euroteck's carbon fiber lip a couple of months ago. Right after I installed the lip I went to Home Depot for a tool. I pulled into a parking spot and just clipped the edge of the lip and have a round scratch/rash the size of a quarter..
Man how bad is that.. First day just a couple of minutes on the car and I already scratched my $600 part!!

From my Geico quote:
Replacement bumper cover: $935
Misc parts (moldings): $213
Labor and paint: $500
Total around $1700
I have my old bumper cover which requires painting but at least is isn't cracked. It was scuffed in a few spots.

and all I was doing was being carful with the baby... didnt want the friggin wind to scratch her. and I just didnt look dead behind me. I didnt think about a utility pole being right in the middle of the throughfare. oh well, the new sub sounds nice, and the tint really brought out the blue in the factory tint. Looks sweet. Im going to hire those aircraft signal dudes for when I want to drive her in any other direction but straight.
later.
