So, I was heading out to Phoenix yesterday to take part in the "S2000 in the Sun" meet tomorrow. 1,200 miles, 16 hours, it was all good. At least until right after I hit Tucson. It was dark, I am zipping along, and all of a sudden I see something lying on the road. No chance to break or change lanes. I hit it. Car jumps slightly, I hear a bang, but after that it just keep running. No tire damage as far as I could tell... There was a truck on the side of the road with his flashers on, so I suspect he lost part of his freight or something...

Anyway, this morning I take off the car bra, and lo' and behold, what do I detect?





Sucks.

I don't suppose you can repair damage like that, can you? So I figure I'll have to get a new bumper. What do these things cost anyway, about $800 to $1,000 or so including labor?

Need to see if the dealership where the meet takes place tomorrow has a body shop; perhaps they can give me some advice.

Anyone have a used bumper lying around I might buy/paint in case it comes to that?

 

If you are going to buy new, you might as well upgrade to an 04 bumper. Sorry to hear about your accident!

Sorry about your bumper. It will have to be replaced since nobody I know has been able to repair damage like that.

Put your bra back on and forget about it until you get back home.

Have fun.

 

brand new, the bumper costs $250. paint/labor will be another $200-300.

bumper can be repaired, but would have to be repainted anyway and the cost will be similar.

 

Sorry to hear about ur bumper Ulrich. 04 up bumper is the way to go, make sure to shave the bumper beam though.

 

aww man! sorry to hear that happened! What is the deal with bad stuff happening to suzukas on the way to S2000 events?

hope you were able to enjoy it after all...

Oh, it was a good day. Fun drive, good food afterwards; put me in a very good mood. At least until I got home and found a rock chip in my windshield...

When it rains, it pours.
