I need a new bumper

Sleepy · 04-08-2008, 03:23 PM

Hey All

Got distracted while slowly backing into a spot at Brentwood mall, backed into a tracker with a front bike rack causing no damage to there ride but I think i have to get a new rear bumper

Damage looks to be small but I am trying to find pics of where the rear body kit attaches or even getting a new bumper.

I did leave a note with my phone number in case they want to file a claim with ICBC but I don't need this right now. And no it won't buff out.

I will post pics later as I do not have the cord at work for my phone.

Dumbass FTL!!!!

Isn't repairing it to the autobody shop cheaper still?

Sleepy · 04-08-2008, 03:45 PM

bumper is cracked, I am thinking this could be a good reason to get rear skirt for car but I need to see a coupe with rear skirt so I can see if it will cover my damage.

***SiliconX*** · 04-08-2008, 04:15 PM

Post a pic of your bumper and we can tell you if the rear skirt covers it. Rear skirt sits pretty high.

PK- · 04-08-2008, 04:15 PM

sorry to hear susan, very respectful of you to leave your info

how high up is it? it seems the lip covers everything from the lowest body line down

Sleepy · 04-08-2008, 05:07 PM

it is alone the crease of the lower bumper, just above where exhaust is. I felt I had to leave my info even though I only left a phone number, I was not about to leave private info for everyone to see.

I remember when i backed into a pole a while back and I was quoted 700 to have bumper fixed.

Waiting for quote on maybe a new bumper or jsut get rear skirt.

here is a hand done pic of where damage is. in the middle where i put circles is where damage is.

so far 700 to repaint
500 installed for rear skirt

***SiliconX*** · 04-08-2008, 05:56 PM

Rear skirt will cover that for sure.

Sleepy · 04-08-2008, 05:59 PM

I am going to wait until Monday, I am just waiting to hear from other party to see if want they want if they call at all. I am just glad I took lots of pics so i can show insurance just in case. I am not claiming my car this will be out of pocket for me.

1chin3s3_b0i · 04-08-2008, 07:32 PM

your saved with the hfp lip! for sure

Sleepy · 04-09-2008, 10:30 AM

so here are the pics of me being a dumbass

Awesome parking job by other person, not that mine was any better since I hit the tracker

this is what I made contact with....metal sucks

this is the worse damage out of the two spots of damage I received.

End of the day me being a dumbass has cost me 500 bucks but the bright side is I can rock the rear skirt now.

Still waiting to hear from other party, I figured they would have called last night but nothing yet.

FD2-R · 04-09-2008, 12:30 PM

Sorry to hear what happened, good thing is not too big of a damage...

***Quinn*** · 04-09-2008, 12:58 PM

That sucks Sleepy. My guess is the rear kit will cover that right up.

I'm always worried when I back up too. Rearward visibility in our cars suck. The ass is too high. Plus the wing if you got one. I can only see the roof of the car behind me.

My old car was a lowered Miata and I could see the bumper of the guy behind me. Great for parking but yes, scary sometimes.

k-20z3 SI · 04-09-2008, 01:03 PM

That suck man thats why when i go to a store i always park far away. Sorry to here about the rear bumper

Sleepy · 04-09-2008, 03:32 PM

well got the cash together for the rear skirt and I am hoping to have it installed before the meet on Sat.

I usually park far away but was more interested in getting to the bank and back to work, tottally my fault for not paying complete attention. I still have not heard from other party regarding the note I left so....so far so good.
