So I had my car parked out on the street last night and when I found it this morning, someone had backed into the front bumper and fender!!
AHHH!! Someone backed into it and then just drove away!! I just got the car about a month ago and I'm not happy about it at all. Auto body shop is quoting me something around 1200 to fix the damage. (It also broke the headlight bracket at the bottom.) 135 for the bracket. So, clearly, this is less than ideal. Ill be claiming it on insurance.
Now for my question. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on alternative options for front fender and/or bumper replacements. I always like to take advantage of situations like this. Maybe a front bumper that sits about stock height that is eurotheyne? I really dislike fiberglass. I don't want to do a full body kit, but maybe a front bumper that looks pretty stock and fits right. The hotwheels fenders might be cool, but the pictures Ive seen look like they have fitment issues. Any help or suggestions at all will be much appreciated........ and remember, don't park on the street if you don't have to.
ALSO, has anyone tried to replace OEM parts with aftermarket and have insurance cover it? any idea on whether or not this will work?
