AHH! What has two wheels and sharp pedals?!

Try to find the guy on the bike. Chances are he works or lives in that general area. You might see him again.

Sorry, but I'd want blood for this.

IIRC, $150-300 estimated for spot fixing the bumper. Some shops can do it. When my car was with Baker Tuning (Nissan), the painter at their shop worked his magic. I couldn't believe the end result because I thought they repainted the entire bumper. It turns out he only spot fixed the scratch.

.

Why were you pulling into oncoming traffic? Is that why the bike was going the other direction?

Making a right hand turn at an intersection. Biker was coming from the right. Traffic was coming from the left. Crosswalk changed to the red hand before i made the turn-

Pulled out to make the right turn and the biker apparently kept coming.

I was expecting to probably have to put down a couple hundred for the repairs.

I have some QUIXX scratch kit. & A turtle scratch kit. But i think its too deep for those, so i wont even try

Mine gouged a tiny bit of the black plastic, and he was able to fill it. In the 350Z, i had a 1" diameter hole in the back bumper from a Starbucks mishap. For the repair, the hole was patched up, sanded, and the whole bumper was repainted. It was about an $800 job, but it fixed other scratches and whatnot.

I am pretty upset!

I took my car to two separate body shops and some mobile touch up guys in the area.

First place quoted me at $650 to completely redo the front bumper. Take it off, take out all the rock chips and fix the pedal scratch.

Second, place said they would do it for $600. They would basically get my bumper to look new again.

Touch up guys said that they wouldn't even try and work on it because they don't want to mess my car up. And that the damage was too much for them.

What should i do?! Buy a new bumper will cost me $300-400 and then $200 to paint.

The car is my DD so i wish there was a decently priced body kit painted brilliant silver haha!
