I am going to buy a new bumper and then whoever i choose to have paint it i will bring the original bumper to them. im not bringing the whole car and dropping it, just the bumpers, new and old. they should be able to match it perfectly that way. im lucky that the bumpers matched 100% from the factory. we've all heard to many people complain that theirs don't match. my old rsx got trashed by overspray when i had my fender done...

btw, the car color is PW.

Got my fender and door painted last week from Geico recommended body shop closest to my house. . i cant tell the color difference (although my roommate can but he says its 95% accurate). life is back to normal now.

95% is better than most

With the ocd I have with my car though, I don't know if I could handle it not being perfect, lol.

My deductible is to high for me to go through my insurance, so I'm just taking care of it unless the police can catch up to the bastard that caused the damage. I ordered the bumper and will have it painted at my local dealer we always work with at my business, so all should be well. The body shop guy I talked to said not to worry about the paint matching, they are very good at it. Should be done next week. At least they are doing the bumper by itself, so no worries about overspray!

I thought he lived in the same apt complex? They didnt get his plate number and look him up? If you know who it is and you are not going to use your ins company (lower your deductable) then keep all the stuff you had to go through with this and sue him in small claims court. But Im curious as to why the police havent got him yet? I would be asking them every day if they spoke to him and ticketed him. But really if the cost is more than your deductable then you might as well use it and save some cash. It only goes on the carfax if there is a police report and they send it in.

And if they dont do anything and you know where he parks then revenge is a bitch.

I think it's because you were playing a Wii and not an Xbox 360... 

Peoblem is the aprtment complex is one of those low oncome restricted complexes, so he is probably broke anyway, I followed up on the poilce teport and the cops haven't done anything yet.. figures...and the address the vehicle is regstered t id another location, not in the patment complex.. sux the bug one! but im dealing with it. Im gonna use the old bumper forr auto-x, ill smash up the cones with that one. gotta make lemonade right?!

Welcome to the club, my car has been involved in 2 hit and runs. Cops wont do anything in my city since it happends at least 14 times a day...thats what 2 officers at 2 different stations told me.

6spd 02-17-2010 06:18 PM

Yeah for sure. Way I see it... cities are doing pretty poorly financially, so why waste resources on finding someone they won't make any money off of, when they could be writing speeding tickets and seat belt violations... Seems like one of those cliche ideas, but from what I see, it sure seems true. The police have an are in front of my shop that is a haven for speeder (if you call 40 in a 30 that should be a 40 speeding...) and they will often send, and I $hit you not, 12-15 officers to the corner and write tickets ALL DAY. So why bother with my hit and run when they could do that?
