imgur: the simple image sharer

I always park in my garage at home so no dent is possible there. I strongly believe it happened two days before christmas which is when I went to school for an exam and left it park in the school garage. I mean I think the alarm would go off after a dent and the this is the only scenario where I wouldn't hear the alarm go off.

Fast forward to today, I don't know what to do. I don't have that much extra money to repair cost. My deductible would be $500 as I have two way insurance but I don't know if its worth it. I don't know where to go from here. Have not called cops or insurance yet.

am i the only person having a hard time understanding that

I think he meant two days before Thanksgiving.

But yea, sorry for your situation, cant really tell where the damage is in that photo, but if its just the rear bumper you might find a used one rather cheap, just keep an eye out for one in your area.

Yeah I meant thanksgiving. I was in a rush typing it up. I don't know much about cars but glad to pick a 370z and joined this forums. Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I'm probably just going to pop it up and let it be an eyesore until i can fix it myself or something. I checked out the AM-S rear bumper and saw its about 350 - 400 to get it to my doorstep. Even then I think you hve to repaint it and stuff and I have no idea how to repaint it. I prolly have to hire shop for that which could cost alot i dunno.

But hearing your comments make me feel a bit better. I recently installed a dashcam too but it only covers the front. Im wondering if i should invest in a cam for the back now.. =/
