Some dumb ass hit my car today and cracked the bumper....

I hate that sh*t! Go to a body shop first for an estimate, then decide what to do from there. The worst I had done was someone threw fireworks inside my car and caused $8,500 in damage, and all I had to pay was my $500 deductible. Because it wasn't my fault my rates didn't go up. Also I'm prone to taking pics of where I'm parked and who's next to me with my phone, just in case one of those assholes slams a door or fender into my car. Helps for proof.

Yes, it proves they parked next to you, and that's it. How do you know the person you have PROOF of them damaging your car didn't take off right after you left, and then someone else parked in the spot, dinged your door on getting out, and just took off. Video in the car on the other hand....


Get a fiberglass patch kit and a can of bondo for 30 bucks.. I'm serious. I think I've seen you do some detailing to, so you could even get a can of touch up and fix the whole thing for under 50 bucks. Do it off-body, what's the worst that could happen. If it doesn't look right your only out 30 bucks for the bondo and fiber, and you can still get ebay pieces.
