How hard to repair?
 

This lovely sir in a Camaro decided he would make a U-turn from the far right lane when I was next to him. Clearly drunk or something. Drove off anyway.

I assume most of the dents on the main surface area can be fixed. My concern is that one at the the seam of the bumper since that area is also sort of bent in as well. I've never had a car repaired though so is this all hard to fix?

Nah.. not at all.

That sucks! But totally fixable. Hopefully you've got good insurance and know of a reputable body shop.

almost the same thing happened to about two weeks ago, just not as bad.cost 2700 to repair got an extra rim out of it though

body shop for sure

I'm confused! You gave no chase...at least to get his plate? Sorry to hear of your misfortune, BTW!

Thanks guys. I'm going to by my client's shop Monday, but just wanted to see if it was definitely a doable job. How long does this usually take?
It was a Camaro and he passed me originally around 90 anyway, so I assume he went about the same when he turned around, so wouldn't have caught up. Plus I had two passengers on the impact side anyway and wanted to make sure they were okay.

youre way more level headed than me.. I woulda hunted the fuck down. people are too used to getting away w/ things.

Ouch good luck!

Where there any traffic cameras in the area?

Yeah, I wish I could have, but it just didn't seem worth it at the time. I was already pushed into the oncoming lane (though it was empty) and the girl in the back had hit her head so had to check on her, and chasing him would have put us in potentially more danger especially considering I would have had to punch it to about 100 at least to catch up.

But hopefully his front bumper is fucked up now lol. Definitely got his paint on my car.
Unfortunately I don't think so. I drove a ways to find a place to park and didn't pass any stoplights, though it's possible a nearby business had one so I should probably check.

You have damage that would be perfectly covered with a Rocket Bunny kit ;):D

Just make him pay for it. It might have messed up your wheel alignment as well.

This is exactly what I was going to type, or the other kit that looks like the Rocket Bunny but with full fenders. Of course then new wheels would be in order...

That's actually not a bad idea lol, especially since I can get one sub $2k. I was already planning on getting the 18" Raijin anyway so that would suit it nicely lol.

I was quoted $1500 for the repair at my discount and it should be done in 2-3 days...it goes in first thing tomorrow morning so I'll guess we'll see how it goes!

Hope you get it fixed soon, I got my dashcam for reasons like this.

Looks much better. Your rim is still messed up pretty badly though..

It's just dirty lol. It's clean now.

Looks like there is yellow paint scuffs on it? or am I just seeing a reflection? haha

Have no idea what it is but it came off, along with what I assume is black paint from the Camaro lol. Little scuffs around the edges but the wheels are all being replaced soon anyway.

ohhhh, I see. Good to hear =p
