Bendy Bumper
So last night, I was pulling up to a parking space between two cars from the right side, I saw that the parking spot looked like it had no concrete parking block thing. When turned to the spot, I guess my car was too low to see it from my angle so I hit it(thinking there was no block, I concentrated on parking my front about the same length as the other cars around me.).
 I was really bummed out cause I practically spent all afternoon detailing my car. Luckily, I was able to bend it back and I just have some scuff marks now. No paint cracked on my bumper or bend marks, so I'm glad about that.   At first, I nearly almost cried seeing my car this way...  Whoever decided to be cheap and use one block for two spots, you are evil to me! Now I will be extra paranoid for these things when I park.

Got lucky that you escaped with just a few scuffs from that. That bent a lot!
Be glad you're in SoCal. Everyone up here who has clipped the littlest things has ended up with destroyed bumpers. They get so brittle in the cold. |

Man, I shuddered when I saw your first pic. Even more amazing was that the clips behind the headlight held.
Big sigh of relief!

Can't believe only "some scuff marks" resulted from picture exhibit A... I'm amazed how flexible that bumper is! From the picture it looked pretty bad...
Glad the damage was minimal! Shit happens...
