People Suck (except for the ones here)
 
So some a**hole hit me in the parking lot while i was shopping the other day. Didnt leave much damage but its very noticeable. Im sure i need a completely new bumper but with my insurance deductible being $500 Im near positive I can just buy a new one for cheaper. The point of this post is more because Im kinda looking to see if anyone is down to pay it forward. If anyone has replaced their rear bumper and has one they are willing to part with let me know. If anyone has any other advice I am more than open to it.

Heres a picture of the damage:

You look awful lot like a guy for what I assume to be a girl, lol

Sorry about what happened but convince SSfirehawk that he needs a body kit and you can have his! (Although he's deployed right now)

kenchan 02-19-2013 01:39 PM

schiet. :mad: that sucks. sorry to see this.

check in the for sale section. you might get lucky and find someone selling their factory bumper.

maybe nismo bumper or aftermarket bumper to your liking? insurance would pay up to an oem painted bumper, so you pitch in the rest.

damn that sucks.... people just dont know how to drive now a days. or just plain stupid

SouthArk370Z 02-19-2013 01:54 PM

Welcome to the club. :hello: Someone did a hit-and-run on my back bumper shortly after I got the car. :mad:

I have the old bumper and you are welcome to it, but it has a spot that is just as bad as yours. And it's Solid Red. And it's an '09. :icon14:

a while back, a woman rear ended my Mercedes. I called the bumper repair guy and he was able to fix it like new. I knew where the damage was but I couldn't find it after he was done. maybe you should call one of those guys and see if they could fix your bumper.

Just wanted to give my approval for the title of this thread. Nothing car related for me, but I'm having the exact sentiment towards a lot of people at work today...

axmea? 02-19-2013 05:58 PM

The other thing about it is damage that may exist underneath the bumper. Not as simple as getting a new rear fascia.

I'd like to help but I just don't hand my @ss over to anyone, I'm pretty sure my Wife will reclaim it. JK. I like the stock rear bumper lol. An option, though not the greatest is to take out a small loan for the deductible. I don't recommend payday loans unless you can pay it off quickly. As in within a month. If you can come up with partial, then borrow the rest, you may be able to cover it. Idk. I would eat Ramen and cut back on expenses if need be. I did that payday **** once when I got $hit trashed at a Bachelor party and spent my rent money on strippers and alcohol. I paid it in two weeks. Good luck regardless.

eastwest2300 02-19-2013 09:17 PM

Dude, that sucks, I'd wanna catch that douchebag and ring his neck.

Reaper42 02-19-2013 09:24 PM

I have a bumper for you!

Amuse370z 02-19-2013 09:40 PM

Amuse time..

quagmire87 02-19-2013 11:41 PM

I would just report it. Once you paint a different bumper or buy a same color one its going to cost you more with shipping. Hopefully it gets fixed, sucks that people don't own up to their mistakes.

I park as far as possible and depending on how vacant the Lot is I might even take up two spots (again in the far back area).

mick 02-20-2013 07:13 AM

unfortunately, parking far away creates another problem: it invites thiefs to steal stuff from your car.

tower74 02-20-2013 07:23 AM

Don't claim something that simple to the insurance. They will put it as an accident on the cars title. It won't show what was done or what happened only as an accident. That will kill your resale value. Eat the damages and move on....and hope one day you find the douchebag who hit your car.

Thats why I don't leave anything in my car. Literally, its cleaned out each time I leave it. Nothing but a car seat, insurance, & floor mats

I am more extreme than you are. If I had to park somewhere longer than 10 minutes, I would drive my DD. I lost trust in people a long time ago :eek:

AlexRaymond19 02-20-2013 10:47 AM

Park far away, someone hit mine too... I just think our cars have a fat a$$, easy to hit. At least you know whoever hit your car probably **** themself when they realized what they hit...

Not always true. I have no accident on my title, and had the rear bumper and tail light replaced. Will not count as an accident unless it is over a certain amount of money, and or reported as such by the police. Cosmetic claims should not count as an accident on your title, only structural damage, or costs above a certain percentage of the vehicles value

SS_Firehawk 02-20-2013 10:54 AM

You know Alex, I see you have Prem now... You think you can slip by unnoticed? Come help me out with my "clutch helper spring" in the premium area, I'll make it worth your while... lol. Anyways, CG's on the upgrade.

AlexRaymond19 02-20-2013 10:55 AM

Especially in his situation, you can not say with 100% accuracy that the damage was caused from a car. Might have been someone out to damage it on purpose
