Thanks Nissan....
 
For integrating the front grill into the bumper. A kid hit my car with his bicycle and put a nice crack in the grill so now my option is to either replace the bumper or just live with the crack. Luckily there really isn't any other damage to the bumper, but still...

What do you guys think I should do?

A kid hit your car with his bike? Were you too far in the crosswalk or something?

Thanks for the bold words...

My car was actually parked on the street I was sitting upstairs in my house when I saw him fly down my street like a bat out of hell and hit my car. By the time I made it downstairs an outside he was gone.

Ah, the ancient chinese "face to fist" technique. Although interesting to watch, it just never caught on like kung fu.

insurance for one, depending on your deductable and do you know who the kid is? And now you can experiment with cutting the crack out of the grill and changing the way the grill looks.

Put a sticker over it. Not only will you not have to fix the crack, the sticker will add HP.

Contact the kid's parents and see what they plan to do about it. If no remorse/recourse - you can sue them for damages in small claims court. New bumper will be about $250, then paint on top of that ($400?)

Or you can pay it out of pocket.

Be glad he didn't fall on your hood, headlights, or fenders....especially the headlights...those are insanely high and are available only as a sealed unit.

again no proof other than he said she said. Only course would be for the kid to admit it. Or play CSI on his bike.

Won't hurt to ask, some people are still decent.
