Well guys my car has been struck on the drivers side of the rear bumper, while it was parked in a shopping center. I have looked at the damage and i believe that a new 04 or 01 (wherever the 01 are to buy?) bumper could fix the problem, but i have a couple of questions before i go and spend some money. I wanted to know if the 04 bumper would fit correctly onto a 01 S? Where i could get a 00-03 rear bumper? Finally i also wanted to know how bad the damage was from your point of view, i have noticed that there is a piece of the actual body of the car has been bent and what i could do about it. I have provide 9 pictures of different angles of the car so you guys can tell me what needs to be fixed and what i need to buy........

Thanx For Any Help....

P.S. My girl is probably gonna kill me for saying this but the car was in her posession at the time of the incident......

 

sorry to hear dude..

well.. i hear that Miami Chasis is a good shop...

 

Just one more reason why I never let anyone else take possession of the car like that. Hubby knows this and even he refuses to drive the car b/c hell hath no fury like a wife whose car has been F'ed up!

 

I don't see any major damage that can't be easily fixed. I had a similar hit and run accident with mine back in Boston, but the scratching was much worse. There's a thin piece of metal holding the bumper's shape, so remove the bumper and straighten the metal... that'll fix 75% of your problem. A body shop shoudl have no problem sanding down the scratches and repainting... mine cost me $150 even to do all of the above work.

 

I think im just gonna bend the metal piece back into place like macgyver said and just look for an nice aftermarket rear bumper. Im open to sugestions?????????????????????????????

 

BUMP......

 

if i remember correctly... bigpurp did an 04 modification..

 

Sorry to hear dude. I think I saw Cristy doing donuts the other day and I thought.."mmmm she is gonna hit something." I guess she did. jk. Save some $$$ and get it fixed in a shop, sadly I do not know of any but the guys here do. You should ask Ricky. jk.
