Thats how long it took.



Before some PUTS hit me


Took out the front bumper, unfortunately I don't know who as it was a parking lot hit and run. Lucky it'* only the bumper cover as I leave on a trip again tomorrow.


I took pics and I shall post as soon as I get them off the camera.


There goes my insurance...500 deductible and Progressive raised my rates when my wife got hit and they didn't pay anything. I can't imagine what they're gonna do now.

Progressive insurance are a bunch of rapers. I'm paying HALF of what Progressive was charging me.. Utterly rediculous.

Progressive is a ripoff...but the cheapest at this point.

The fool hit the liscense plate pushing it back which crack both sides up to the grill and the drivers side into the open spaces. I haven't pulled off the plate to see what it did behind it. No missing pieces as of this point but the cracks are all the way through the cover.

I am looking for a used one but can't seem to find one. Tried ebay, found one but I gotta call my buddy and see if he has anything. I can change the cover myself and use my buddies shop if I buy the part from him. (he'* not that good a friend) This just really pisses me off.

And of course my body shop guy just retired and moved to NC. Looks like a visit to my parents is in order cause he lives like 5 miles from them.

I gotta get my wife to dl the pics as right now I am using my spare pc as mine died.

Great froggin luck

$170 brand new aftermarket


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BUMPE...spagenameZWDVW

$182 Aftermarket

Those are 00-01..I'm sure they have one for 03 as well.

Expect to spend a tad over $100 to get it painted to match.
