Backed into a tree!
No, there are no pics of the damage, but its bad enough to get a new bumper. in my defense, it was pitch dark out and i have 5% tint in the back. Completely did not see a tree...if thats even possible.
Well, my friends with cars always say "dude you scratched it! great excuse to buy a modded one." so I was wondering if there is an upgraded/modded bumper out there or something I could get instead of the plain old one. Let me know! thanks

Those trees jump out sometimes and always end up in your blind spot.

You're lucky it's the bumper alone. I got my bumper,quarter and decklid all damaged. Those sensors suck as they didn't pick up the mailbox and I knew it was there but like an idiot went anyway. I now am looking into a backup cam lol.

Perhaps a reverse lockout. If you can't reverse, you can't hit a tree. Imagine the pain that poor tree is feeling?

That's an argument against tint if I ever heard one.
