dg cf lower lip.

The fiberglass version painted satin/semi-gloss black (same color as the trim around the widows) is in the running ... or I may just paint the cover itself (or not lol).

Thanks. 215/40/18

Late night bump for rear bumper covers (ughdance)

 

[L8R]

Dawm, sorry to see!

I would PM JohnDG because... I don't want to give this out lol but he has a JDM rear bumper, support, and Mintblue rear lip kit that he trying to get rid of. I would see if you can arrange something with him. I wanted to buy it, but shipping would suck ass!

Or

Buy a full Mintblue kit ;]

My wife and two daughters got hit on Sunday, hard enough to move the rear of the car four feet to the left.

Glad nobody was hurt.

Three things you need to worry about besides the bumper cover though:

1. In the picture the exhaust looks like it may have been displaced a bit towards the driver's side - assuming that offset isn't caused by the bumper cover moving in the other direction.

2. Once the bumper cover is off check the styrofoam and metal bumpers underneath it. When my car was rear ended the bumper cover wasn't even as messed up as yours but the styrofoam was mashed.

3. Have the frame checked. Most likely it's not bent, but better to know now, while the other guy's insurance will pay for it, than later, when it will be your problem.
