Ok, so im upstairs i and hear a noise and im like please dnt tell me thats it. Roomate comes inside F*** bro i just hit your car, i go outwise its the front bumper, just about a foot long on black on mu front bumper. nothing seems to be to bad besides that. Whats the quickest way to fix this? im not going into insuracnce and crap, so is buffing it out and painting it thebest, ordering a new bumper best? or even g oto the extent and making my car look nicer with an aftermarket bumper best, whats everyone think?

 

pics? best bet would be to have your roommate pay for whatever you decide

 

Only thing I worry about insurance settlements is sometimes that will show on a carfax as some form of wreck so get him to get you a new aftermarket bumper!

 

no i know thats why im not going into insurance probably just out of our own pockets, i was wanting a new bumper anyways and im a nice roomate andi know he doesnt have the money right now so i could like split the cost of a new bumper with him

 

DO NOT go through your insurance. Make your roommate pay for it, and don't put some funky bodykit front bumper on it, keep it stock. Try to get it buffed out and painted, if they can't do that make him pay for a new bumper.

 

How much should it cost to paint, any estimates?

 

How deep is the scratch? If it is mostly just paint transfer and minimal scratches, chances are that it can be buffed out. If the scratches are all the way through the paint to the metal/plastic, the you will need to paint. A front bumper re painted at a reputable shop will be around $400...ask how I know

 

kill him!. just joking!lol

 

wow thats alot of money, i can just get a new bumper for that lol

 

same thing happen to me exept it was the rear bumper and only the corner. I went to a local body shop and they said bout 350-400 to fix it. i contacted a member on the forums that has a body shop and he said bout 300. here is the link to my post.https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=276723

 

Don't go through the insurance company.....bad for your records.......have your roomate pay for the damage.......than get a new roomate....lol

Sorry to hear about your ride

Sick Speed

 

haha i know right, thats for the sorrow lol

 

decent paint jobs cost about $300

 

ok now i feel stupid but i went out side to check it out, its only about 2 inches long and a half inch tall lol. when i went out before i didnt want to look at it so i just glimsed down and thought it was big lol

 

I agree.Just get it fixed without insurance.You will save money in the long run.
