Default Well I am a jackass

I had a primo spot in front of my buddies bar. Then the cops came and started to issue parking tickets even though it was open parking after 6:00 pm. I hoped in the S and took off to go park. Well while turning left I went over those rubber track guards for the metro spun out and hit something, I asume it was a small yellow pole, here is the damage



After getting home and pulling the bumper it looks like I pretty much owned my foam support and bent in the my cross memeber (actual metal bumer).. The question is will this effect anything? Should I just go Mugen and say Oh well, and hello to the new hotness?

Please don't flame I really have been trying to be careful I could use some input here and feel really bad to my baby

oh man i feel so bad for you.. sorry to see that happened. one of those things that just jump out of no where... ARGH

anyway - cosmetically it looks like a bug hit you, it should buff right out. as far as the cross member and foam support - shouldn't be THAT big of a deal to fix/replace if necessary. not sure about the lower part of the bumper though, if that will stretch back into place w/o cracking the paint.

nice flashlight, BTW

i'd get a new bumper and foam... the support "should" be fine as long as you don't hit anymore yellow poles.

Try a heat gun couldn't hurt, pull the bumper off and apply the heat from the inside.
