I did the same thing to my G8. I wanted to puke.

Actually, if your okay with dishing out $2500 which is about as much as what the cost was to fix the damage from car. I ofcourse involved my insurance. Looking at your damage you might only need that bumper ofcourse. Just giving you an idea. I suppose my damage was a bit more but you decide.

yep call your insurance,your going to need the whole bumper cover and parts,this is the only flaw in the front end,if you snag something it takes the whole piece with it,the upside its way easy to replace

I had my car lowered a few weeks ago. I'm always careful to watch those curbs and parking barriers. Sorry to see your car was damaged.

I would still lower my car though. It really does make the car corner better.

Ah crap that sucks!!! It hurts me just to look at the pics!

mikel441 · 04-22-2010, 04:41 PM

Mine is stock heght but, I did the same thing on a parking block a few months back. It only left a nice scrape on the bottom but, I felt just as low as you did I'm sure.

Chris-10 · 04-22-2010, 05:19 PM

OUUUCHHHH

IROCanSS · 04-22-2010, 05:25 PM

Hey man! I am betting you are in for a lot more than $500 with the bumber, paint and install. I SCRATCHED my bumper and it was $600 to just paint it!

I took a chunk of metal to the front. did this and took a piece out of the tire at 300 miles. I got a new tire too, total bill was $1300. My ded. was $100.

bossbunny · 04-22-2010, 10:39 PM

I hope she gets fixed soon!
