Got in an accident- where can I get this piece?
 

I need the whole plastic piece that goes right above the mufflers. Anyone know where I can get one? Anyone selling one???

I would start at my dealership. Next would be my local salvage yard. They're all tied in together on the internet. One salvage yard can do a search of their entire industry to see if a particular item is out there somewhere.

You need the whole bumper cover, it's all one piece.

or...get the TRD under spoiler, while you are it, get the quad exhaust too :w00t:

Took paint off the bumper. So fucking pissed off
Attachment 36551

Yeah, you're gonna have to replace the entire bumper

How did it happen? Spin out? Ya need a new bumper, $500+

Nice! where can I get that white rear skirt

Ouch! That sucks I know. Had mine 2 days and someone backed into me at work. Same place on my bumper got hit, cracked, and left a hole. Body Shop says $786 to replace. The bumper comes unpainted and I have the premium paint (whiteout). I don't have my est. papers here at work, but the unpainted bumper was listed under $300 for the part. I hope that helps.

First--how did it happen? One-car accident? Why not make an insurance claim?

Secondly--Do you not have comprehensive coverage? Not to get too preachy, but the extra cost on top of liability coverage is only a few extra dollars/month. Then you don't have to worry about finding your own parts. :thumbup:

A girl hit me in the parking lot. Yes I can claim it, but I have a $500 deductible. If the bumper is around $500 then I'm just gonna buy it and not claim it. That way my rates won't go up. Because it happened in a parking lot, I can't claim it on her policy. Cop didn't even do a report, just had us exchange info

Well you could try calling her and say it cost $XXX and would like her to pay it

You never know

If she was at fault you can claim it on her policy. You do not need a police report to file a claim. I got hit a couple year ago in my employee parking garage and had no issues filing a claim with the other parties insurance. No report was filed we just exchanged info and I took pictures just in case but they never asked for them. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Like others have said you don't have to touch your deductible if she is at fault.

You have a perfect case to make a claim, plus you have her contact information (and thank the cop for making you swap numbers). Call her and tell her you are going to file a claim.

The part & labor will likely be over $500 anyways, so I say go for it. Your rates will not go up for something happening when you were not in the car.

Of course, if she's cute, of age and you are both single.... Talk about your ice breakers :D

I agree with many people saying you shall claim it, it doesn't cost a cent. Also, do not expect anything fixed up will be 500$. This is a good way to do an estimate about Body work.

1x the Material, and 2x the Labor.

That means, 500-700 for a new Un-Painted bumper, and about 1000-1400 in labor. You are looking around 2k.

Bumper is just over $200 (+shipping I presume)

^still works out to more than $500

I work at a body shop, we haven't had a FR-S through yet, but a BRZ rear cover is $269.95 and has 1.5 hours of tech labor and 2.3 for paint according to the insurance computer program. Our shop is $40 an hour for each. Comes out to around $600 depending on tax.

Hardly and if he has to claim it is most probably worth to just pay out of pocket. If it were me I would try to claim on her insurance but if she says he back into her and he says she rear end him they won't be able to determine without witnesses.

If it ain't your fault, why are you paying for it? Unless she is paying you in other ways, i.e. premium oral service, you are a complete doofus for wanting to take care of this yourself.

I'm probably out of place for saying this, but I think it's funny how everyone on the internet is assumed to be a guy. The OP is a lady.

:bellyroll::bellyroll::bellyroll:

That is way cheaper than I thought...Wow, that is Amazing, just 600 buck for a new painted bumper

saw one ebay a while back (srry dont have ebay access at work) so can't check if it still there!

rear bumper replacement will be 800 bucks.

Ok, thanks for the responses. Here are more details.
1. I'm a girl :-)
2. I was backing up, a second from putting it in drive, and she comes plowing around the corner (in the wrong lane) and hit me. She obviously tried to serve, cause her damage is right before her driver rear tire (see pic)
3. This happened at CVS. There is a camera that hopefully will show what happened.
4. We have the same insurance, so the adjusters will fight out who is at fault.
5. I work in the same building as the girls mom, I see her everyday. Hopefully if for some reason it comes back as my fault, they won't claim anything cause its minimal damage on her car.
6. I understand many of you will say "you were backing up so its your fault"... I'm not on here to argue my point, but I will say this. The parking lot is L shaped. It was clear of vehicles from my perspective when I was backing up (there was a truck parked on the left side of me), and considering she hit the rear passenger side, that proves that I was just about out of the parking spot. Had she been traveling in her correct lane while on the curve in the parking, she would not have hit me. Also had she not been speeding, she wouldn't have hit me. Attachment 36569

Isn't that a VW Beetle?

Yes

1 question, you were backing up -- were you at a full stop and you were just about ready to go when she plowed you? Meaning that you were already in the drive way and not in the parking lot correct?

If you were at a full stop and she saw you already backed out all the way, then plowed into you, then yeah it's her fault. though from the accident and the look of it, the only way she could have caught it on her skirt is if you were just getting out and she just drove by and you hit her. I'd take pictures of the lot and reference your spots too just in case it comes down to proving you were right.

Here is a PU bumper cover if you are into the TRD one.

Sucks to be hit, hope you get it fixed soon.

From what I can see from the photos and using my awesome internet armchair detective skills, there can only be two scenarios:

1) Cajun was backing out and stopped after noticing the VW lady. VW Lady sees Cajun too late and swerves, clipping Cajun's back end that's sticking out from behind the truck. VW lady definitely at fault.

2) Cajun was backing out but didn't stop after noticing the VW lady. VW Lady sees Cajun too late and swerves, clipping Cajun's moving back end that's sticking out from behind the truck. VW lady and Cajun would both have a share in the blame.

Without concrete proof, it could go either way. This would've never happened if the VW lady had some patience and actually waited for Cajun to completely back out. But nobody ever does that right?

This is the reason why I either reverse park or inch my bum out bit by bit, with pauses in between so I have plenty of time to react and making it glaring obvious to even the best darwin award winners.

It was definitely the VW owner's fault. :lol:

I never saw her till I felt the impact.

I was a couple seconds from putting my car in drive, so I definitely didn't just have my ass end sticking out. Way more of my car was in the driveway as opposed to the parking spot.

I saw this earlier- the part about having to cut the bumper to make it fit is a little nerve racking

Please let me know if I'm understanding this right- that black piece that I need replaced (I believe it's called an "apron")... Anyway, that part does not just snap off. It's actually part of the entire bumper??

Yeah that's right. It's made to look like separate pieces but it isn't.

I'd just get your insurer to open a not at fault case and get them to investigate it? At least that's how it works in Aus, they'll go into battle for you.

Yea but we both have the same insurance. So it's basically gonna be who gets to claim on whose policy, or 50/50

So how the hell would this piece be installed??Attachment 36657

By a body shop. Jk, though I still think you should file a claim. ;)
