I think I am in need of some body maintenance... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As the title suggests, what do you guys think?

At approximately 0715 on 12-07-2011 someone was driving on the second floor of the garage I park in, as they turned off of the ramp they turned too sharp striking another vehicle which happened to be mine, a Chevrolet Camaro 2SS/RS with a Nissan Titan truck removing the rear bumper and damaging the right side of the vehicle. Corporate Security was on the scene and took pictures.

That is the just of the security report. I was furious. Luckily, I was not in the car and no one was injured, except my sweet Molly. With that being said, I talked with my insurance and I can get a body kit put on and anything over the cost of repairs comes from me.

Total repairs: $4500
Front Bumper Part: $422.97
Rear Bumper Part: $402.21

So, any suggestions? I want to stay away from Extreme Dimensions as I have heard too many horror stories. These things no matter the manufacturer, never fit just right so I am looking for your best suggestions. Thanks!

Maybe some duct tape and bailing wire that should make it barely noticable! :-)

In all seriousness, Sorry this happened. I avoid garages as much as I can for this very reason.

Buff it out

RamRod · 12-13-2011, 02:36 PM

Yeah, they said it wouldn't take too much time. I am trying to find a body kit and I was leaning on the Razzi but...I would need a whole new rear bumper cover.

Sorry for this man.. I think It's time to try a nice rear bumber from RKSports or Phastek Performance

I want to kno how you predicted this? I mean your name is ramrod

and join date of 2007 yet here in 2011 your car really is a ramrod.... crazy....

so to hear about the accident, that would piss me off something fierce, and around the holidays just makes it worse..

RamRod · 12-14-2011, 03:18 PM

You don't even know how furious I was. I was sitting at work when my manager asks "hey, don't you drive a grey Camaro and park it on the corner?" I say "Sure do. Whats up?" Well, I got an email, not sure if it was a Camaro but uh...it might be." I run out there and sure enough...bam. I saw it from a distance and with every step I could feel my heart drop farther and farther away from my chest.

So, I am TRYING to find a rear and front bumper but I want to stay away from Fiberglass. I was thinking ABS plastic/Duraflex/Polyurethane. Anyone have any thoughts?

And HAR HAR on the name connection
