So while spending 5 minutes in Blockbuster tonight someone managed to nail my back bumper and take off before I could catch them. Ironically, I was parked around beside the building so no one would DO that. As a consequence, there are no cameras turned that way and they couldnt tell me who it was -not even a description of the car. I guess the good news is that the bumper isnt bent and didnt take any damage that I can tell, only the skin. Anyone able to give me an estimate on what its going to cost to replace, or if its even possible to get them yet?

 

Call saleen, they probably have a pile of them that they will get rid of for cheap.

You may luck out and get the same color as your car. If that is the case, take it to a bodyshop and have them swap/align the two, unless you are good at those things. Althogether that should set you back about $200.

Depending on the condition of the bumper cover, if they can patch it up, it will probably set you back $300 or so.

 

I had my bumper cover dinged up on Christmas Eve. Someone backed into it and took off. It wasn't cut, bent or anything like that. My dealer took the cover off, prepped the area that was damaged and painted it. It took it in at noon and received it back the next afternoon. It cost $216 to the job and it looks good as new.

Wow - kinda cool - stinks you had to drop the cash but at least she's good as new now!

Va Beach huh? I went to college up there - Va Wesleyan?..... Really fell in love with the Va Beach area. Must be neat to crusie the strip at the beach in the '05.....
(at least, obeying those 'non -crusing rules' I remember the started after they remodeled the strip... )

 

I didn't get the car in time to cruise the strip, will have to wait for the summer for that. Still get plenty of looks around town though. Thr dealership, Kimnach, did a great job on the car. Even got a free wash and detail, real good considering all the sand and salt on the road after the snow.

 

Ooops yeah forgot - down here, cruising the strip is practially an all year round option!

Kimnach - dang I remember where that is! - sounds like they treated you right! Excellent
