Man that sucks. Like the other guys here, I always try to park far away from everybody else and If I just have parked the car and see some older couple parking next to mine, I will(true story) get in the car again and move it

I scraped the f*ck out of my rear right rim this tuesday if it helps One step closer to getting new rims I guess.

If you were getting a hummer from a chick you picked up at a nightclub while it happened - all is forgiven.

I believe that all the rear bumpers are interchangeable except for the Black Series as it has wider fender flares.

I found one on ebay primed not painted and reserved it.

Any idea on a ballpark how much a bumper paint job might cost?

I haven't been able to have any panel painted and clear coated for under $300.

I paid around $500-550 to paint my amg package, front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper.
But then again I know the guy that did the work and the work was done "after hours"

Yeah, This dude crashed into our rental car in Miami at a stop light, causing us to hit the woman in front of us, whom was pregnant. We decided to pull over on the right side of the road, As we were all changing lanes, the purp just takes off and zooms away. People can be such Scum Bags.

Prolly wouldn't have done much good to get a plate number either I'm guessing. If a guy runs in plain view, he's prolly doing something he shouldn't be and is in no rush to exchange info or wait for the police.

We were in heavy traffic flow, Not safe enough to get out. Miami doesnt have front license plates so we weren't able to get his plate as his POS Toyota Corolla S sped off.

Everyone was ok luckily so we parted ways.

Karma is looking for that guy and it's not gonna be pretty.

Damn that's just plain cruel!

So assuming from the prices listed here i would say it cant go more than $400-$500 to paint the bumper which is OK.

No i need to hunt down a diffuser that costs less than $500...
