Hit & Run on my baby :(
Yep it happened, someone nailed me...put a dent in the trunk about the size of 2 softballs and scraped up my bumper pretty bad 
I'm really upset because I'm already paying out the wazoo for insurance (1800 a year) and now I have to make another claim.
Most of you know my glass window was replaced last month due to a rock chip. The installer chipped my fender and hood The company made good and was going to cut a $650 check over to the body shop of my choosing. My plan was to have a new oem bumper put on (which I already have btw in the garage) and pay out of pocket to have the bumper, the other fender and blend work into the doors to make it look good. Now I don't know May as well just have the entire car re-painted....?
I dunno what to do. Maybe I jwill return it to stock, knock out the dent with a mallot and trade it in for S #3. I'd hate to shell out all this money to have the car re-painted.

You just need to get your lazy dented up rear end down to Wilmy this weekend for Mod Day. We'll take care of it for ya.
Seriously though, put the OEM front bumper on, sell me that highly USED and nastily modded front end for a reasonable price and get a '04.
I can wait.
