That sucks man. But thats why we pay for insurance. Hope you have full coverage.

Hit and run or not; anything short of a tank and my Jeep will probably win.

that sucks man. my buddy just had that happen to him a few weeks ago. He ended up running the guy down and then pulled him out of the vehicle until cops showed up. Good thing he wasnt carrying his conceal weapon. I think he would have shot the guy. Ended up being an uninsured illegal with no license. Cop told him they would impound the car and take him to jail but he would be SOL when it came to getting his car fixed. Instead the cop said he would let him make an agreement as to cost and the guy could have someone bring cash to the scene and in turn not arrest him but still impound the car. He took $1k cash and went home. It was his old beater f150 and he is a mechanic so he should come out money ahead but still..............

Oh happy day!! That's why it is kinda nice to drive a crappy car around!!

well, I have a $500 dollar deductible. No point of filing for it, since after I looked at it last night, theres no damage to the body. its as if someone backed into the corner and rubbed the whole corner. Im going to probably replace the bumper with the termi ones, but, about how much do you think it would cost to have this one re-sprayed if I decide to keep it?

all depends on the paint color and condition. If it's a metallic they will have to blend the other panels so it will match and will cost quite a bit more than just spraying a new bumper black or white. I would get some estimates as to what it will cost to replace it with an oem bumper cover and paint it. Might be worth paying that deductible.
