Hit and Run...
 
I went to my friend's apartment complex tonight around 6:15pm EST. We were playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl on our Wii when at around 6:38, his dad comes in the room and says, "Lets go take a walk to your car." At first I thought he meant his son's car, but when I realized he meant mine, I immediately thought the worst. His dad said he heard a "bang", so he looked out the window and saw a white F-150 with his rear bumper up against my front bumper. The f'in guy just drove off:mad: We went outside and sure enough, there is a large gouge in my front bumper:mad::mad: I called the police and they came out and said they would send detectives to the guys apartment (the ******* lives in that same complex). I hope the guy gets in deep crap for hit and run.

Now the search begins for a new stock front bumper, as well as dealing with my insurance:mad::mad::mad: Hopefully they are available and hopefully the paint job will come out good.

My old RSX got hit in the driver side front fender a while back and was fixed a buddy's body shop. The job turned out pretty poor, so I'll be going somewhere else, maybe even the dealer.

Has anyone else has to source bumpers yet?

That guy who hit and ran could get locked up for that.
Good luck!

He wont. He will get a ticket and a court date. its screwed up I know.

Bummer. Sounds like the guy is on borrowed time. If it's just the front fascia, Courtesyparts.com has them unpainted for $268. The energy absorbed (styrofoam) is another $77. All replaceable.

Yeah, I looked at that earlier, but whether it can be sourced is the only issue. I'll find it though, I have very good connection locally.

I really wish it worked that way:stirthepot:

Your ins and body shop will have no prob getting the bumper.

kdoske 02-13-2010 11:42 PM

that sucks man.

6spd 02-13-2010 11:44 PM

It's the painting I'm mostly concerned with. There aren't many "good" paint shops around me, besides dealers.

370zproject 02-13-2010 11:45 PM

pics?

6spd 02-13-2010 11:47 PM

On my phone, but I don't have messaging or the USB cable needed to transfer them... sux.

How do we know it wasn't zombies yet? i mean, the white ford F-150 driver could be THE head zombie

In the meantime we should all stock up on ammunition, you kno just as a precaution
