They're not too noticeable, since they're at the bottom of the bumper, but I think it would be better to get it fixed. I got his name, phone number, and license plate number.
Why didn't you report to the cops, the guy could deny the entire thing ever happened. Hopefully he's honest though!

just kidding, i know you use the TSX as a show car, but you're one lucky SOB to have that situation at what? 19, 20 yrs old?

I guess I could have reported it to the police, but that seemed kind of excessive under the circumstances, since the damage was so minor. Really the only damage is two small gouges at the bottom of the bumper, where it angles inwards. I think they must have been from the screws on the front license plate of the other car. He couldn't have been going more than 5 mph when he hit us. They are barely noticeable unless you bend down. I guess I still could have called the police.
I think he's probably honest though. He has called me back when I asked him to. Right now, he's waiting for me to get an estimate. I just hope I don't have to replace the whole bumper.

I've seen a few around hoboken. There's one CG with a Lehigh Sticker in the window, been wondering whose it is, then i see one parked around newark street all the time, since that's on my walk from the PATH to the apartment. I got the 2006 RBP if you ever see me around town!
