I have not had any sort of accident since I was 18, and now at 24, two weeks of owning my 05 MR, I backed into a damn truck in a pep boys parking lot

wtf

 

I find it helps to look behind when backing up, I almost did the same thing a couple weeks ago, damn car came out of no where. Do you have pics of the damage?

 

That sucks big time. Hopefully there isnt much damage.

+1 for pics

 

my buddy helped me do a quick cover up. The entire car needs new paint anyways so Ill probably just rock it for a little bit. The color matches fairly well, the area looks wayy off because it was cleaned first.

the right side of the bumper came off originally, snapping the mount from the fender where it attaches to the bumper in the wheel well.

 

should have taken pics of the damage right after. That entire corner is messed the **** up

 

What color are you going to paint it?

 

I'm not sure if I want oem wicked white or if I want to do something with a little depth. Sticking with white for sure though

 

Take a pic of the whole car, that paint looks nasty lol.

 

 

That car is definitely overdue for a full detail including buffing. What a difference buffing does on a car that looks and feels like sandpaper lol.

 

Is it just really dirty or is that what the paint actually looks like?

 

its a combination of very dirty and awful paint. The car was previously stolen, painted blue, then recovered, and then painted white again.

both paint jobs sucked. the car is slopped together.

my buddy shoots, im just waiting until i gather all the funds and for the weather to let up so I can ride my bike everywhere I need to go


on a different note, I have noticed the rear bumper was incorrectly removed at one point, all the rivet fasteners were just yanked through the bumper. ugh.

 

looks like its time for a JDM rear good thing they come pre-painted in white!

 

that sucks man, sorry to hear about that. atleast when you fix it this time you'll know it was done right

 

Since it was stolen my guess is the that the person who stole it just yanked the bumper off. good luck with your bumper, also it wouldn't hurt to really rub the dirt off the car (like the trunk and behind the rear wheel), my was dirty like yours and it made a huge difference, tho it did take almost an hour.
