I thought about doing that and keeping the Subaru Badge to throw people off, haha but I really do love the looks of the BRZ bumper. I want to get the STi Kit for it eventually.

What camera do you have? I was thinking of getting a Mini 0803 for ease of installation, but it only records when the car is on. I'd prefer not to have to splice any wires.

By the time he got the FR-S bumper, fog light bezels, removed/retrofited the DRL lights and painted everything that $850 he was complaining about will seem cheap.

One of the reasons I chose the BRZ over the FRS was the front bumper design. You'd be complaining about paying the $850 too if your baby was the victim of a hit and run. It's bad enough it got hit. It's a double suck that I currently have to cover the repair.

I don't think he's making fun of you or w/e about that, it's the fact that an FRS conversion would probably cost twice as much where it would make $850 feel cheap.

sorry to hear and see the damaged. actually it doesnt look bad comparing to mine i hit my own BBQ grill while parking after 2 weeks of having my BRZ! i was going to get it repainted but you would get more damaged later. just spend your money on something else and replace bumper later when that time comes.

Do you have uninsured motorist coverage? It will cover hit and runs. The deductible for uninsured is only $250.

Uninsured deductible in NJ is $500 but that's if you are able to prove the at-fault person had no insurance, which you cannot do for hit and run. This is why it falls onto collision coverage.
