Default Before and After

Some of you may know.... I was hit recently. The damage wasn't too bad, but required work to the rear bumper. In the pic you can see the damage to the tow hook cover and not as evident are the scratches from the license plate all the way across to the left (where I was hit) Those of you who've seen the car recently also know the front bumper is in horrible shape. So, I had that dealt with at the same time.

It's still that silly blue color. Should have painted the whole thing.

You're right, my apologies.

AND, you even tracked it this year.

Did you have the whole front bumper shot? I had someone scrape my bumper over the summer in a parking lot. Was wondering what it would set me back to have the bumper painted. Am thinking about removing it myself to replace the headlights and dropping it off to a body shop to fix the damage. BTW, does anybody know if there is an OEM replacement for the high beams to add a projector beam bulb assembly in an AP1?

I was busting you Joe, but I figure you'd know that... Hopefully see you at tech day. I'd have to make it Friday if anything. Dart Tourney in Philly Saturday that I'm going too. Also, car's been running like crap. Well, battery died, replaced it and she's doing better now.

I had the front bumper replaced. The estimate to repair was about $200 less than OEM replacement. No brainer to me. Plus, JFO gets parts for the parts bin. What you couldn't see in the picture is s a horizontal crease that ran all the way across the bumper from a small tap a few years ago. The paint chipping was coming from that crease.
