That's a good idea. I got a pic of his insurance and license. I’ve backed into someone in a truck myself. You can’t see squat of people park to close. It’s no excuse but between me parking too close and not having a steel bumper I’ll likely just let it go. Not near as much damage would have happened if I hadn’t removed the inner bumper. The front bummer is beat to shit already anyways lol Most of it will likely pop out with a heat gun. Time to look for a crashed car in silver...

Well at least he gave you that information. And yeah that’s exactly what I’m going to do when I get some time. Seems like it would be easy to just heat it up and push it back into place, especially since it’s the rear bumper. Been here almost a year and still don’t know how to post pictures...lmao. It’s not too bad though didn’t take off any paint.

I lost a bit of paint but it was a mess to begin with. This might just be the excuse to get another one. Maybe I’ll just fix it myself over the winter. The rest of the car is in great shape. I’ll to some protection film this time for sure.

Man this looks awesome! Well done! I’ve always had a soft spot for Rays and Volk bronze wheels. Looks awesome with your white car. Any issues with rubbing?

Did you see it happen?! That would be even worse. I swear the massive size of trucks and SUVs is outrageous. Here in Texas that’s about 95% of the population

I put on some gloss black Scion badges today I could also see the Toyota sombrero outline underneath, so Carvana must have swapped them back. They also left some nice gouges on the front bumper. Idiots

Thank you man I appreciate it!. And yeah just whenever I hit bumps on the road. Kinda giving me a bit of anxiety when I'm driving it around now lol I'm very cautious looking out for pot holes. I might raise it up just a bit in the future but for now I like how it sits

Yes, my wife and were in the car and had just parked. It was cool to see the Bumper just folding up Eeek!! I was laying on the horn. He heard it before the hood was crunched. It was a no win situation...

I’ve already had to use the horn on my car more than any other. Asphalt Gray doesn’t help either. All I can say is, thank God most cars have blind spot monitoring now. To help keep the idiots from hitting us. Lol
