I F'd up my front bumper :'( - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

TOTO_86 · 09-05-2012, 01:18 PM

Yesterday morning I was in traffic ,at a light, when I was playing with my phone and I let my foot off the brake. It was a fender bender, and his car had a little scratch, but mine took all the damage. So now I don't know what to do. It's between getting a new bumper of fixing the regular one. You can't really tell from a distance but from close it looks noticable. My car is whiteout fr-s. Any advice? I learned my leason to NEVER, NEVER EVER USE MY PHONE AND DRIVE! I took picutres but it is bad quality. I'll post up better ones when I get on my computer. Is it cheaper to get a new one or fix the same one.

If you were ever interested in getting a body kit, I would say do so now! I mean, it wouldn't make much sense to fix it now if you plan to. Think of it as an importunity to beautify your Fr-s!

May I recommend this bumper?

Its the one I want

I second getting an aftermarket kit. Now is the time to do it since it needs to be repainted or replaced anyway.

Not much sympathy given the phone usage whilst driving (stopped at lights counts), but definitely agree with others here. Get a new front bumper that you like more than stock and consider it an expensive lesson

Eh? People using their phone stopped at lights are the worst! These are the idiots who mess up traffic by sitting there like retards when the lights change and then only a fraction of the cars get through each green.

It's absurd that people started messing around with their phones in their car because they were bored during their long commute, and the overall end result is that they've made everyones commute worse, including their own.

People are so self-absorbed these days, it's getting to be epidemic.

While I agree with this I don't find it that bad or not nearly as bad as the conceited, self absorbed girls you see driving around looking into their rear view mirrors to put on their cake face

Not as bad as stopped at lights waiting to make a left turn signal.

Not trying to 1up but I've seen people using their iPads or equivalent while driving so now when I drive I pay attention not only to myself but other idiots on the road and best stay clear away from them.

I like to fuck with people who are on their phones at stops. If the person next to me is face first in their phone I will roll backwards slowly to make them thing they're rolling forward.

Once their attention is on the road/me I give them the stare down+head shake.

I'll make sure I steer clear from the Darkside of your anus... Sounds like a shitty place to live TBH.

I was thinking of adding a body kit, but I have a question. Does the body kit include a new bumper or just adds to the bumper?
