Angry Curse continues!

Long story short, I park my TL @ my buddies apartment complex, hop into his ride to go to Wendy's to grab some munchies. Come back not even 10 minutes later to find my baby has been Hit n' Run!!!!! Motherfuckers.. I swear, didn't even have the decency to leave a note.. I know, that's asking a lot but if your gonna damage someones car and just leave, why not leave a note saying your the least bit sorry. No major damage but the drivers-side of my front bumper/lip is all scratched/scuffed/spidered-paint all to hell.

I'm just gonna cover up the bad area with some decals until I can get it re-painted. I'll post up some celly pics in a lil' bit.. pretty fucking pissed right now!!

.. well I don't want my premiums to go up since I pay a fairly low fee for having a spotless driving record. I even waited around for an hr. to see if the person would be dumb enough to park in the spot/area again but no luck.

Hate to hear that...bastards. The good news on your insurance is that your rates should drop once you hit 26 years old. They really slam it to young guys, and I believe 25 is the cut-off. Shop around as well. The other good news is that with those decals you should gain about 5hp for each one

Sucks Brian. Hard to tell in that pic but most of that looks like it would buff off.

the thing is is that he said that it was another white car that hit him. so either his paint got removed completely or the other card primer is on his car.

Hard to tell, but the black is either rubber from the other guy's bumper guard, or it rubbed all the paint off ill's bumper cover, exposing the rubber underneath. If it's rubber from the other car, it will buff out.

Wow, that sucks. Especially on white. But it does look like it'd buff out, most of it. As long as the paint's not cracked...

that sucks; but be happy that it was only the bumper cover (aka comes right off), compared to actual sheet metal on the car body, especially say the quarter panel

your rates should not be affected- you were parked- thats what comprehensive is for
Wont hurt to ask your agent
Mostly its the deduct amount- new cover say 200- deductible 500, dont turn it in

you know I was pie throwing... right~
anyone can say ahhh man too bad- it takes a buddy to remind you its just a material thing that can be fixed and the world is not out to get you...

A decent person makes the mistake of not using his car to go somewhere,,,that was your mistake-
never take anyones car...leaving your TL parked in unknown territory--it gets scared and attracts unwanted attention of a car looking to cause some trouble

I thought the idea of them leaving an I'm Sorry note was great!!
they either didnt know what happened or fled the scene before anyone got their license plate info

How about using reflective tape on the corners of the car? they make it in white..as seen on semi trailers
a nice decal for now- add a redline sticker!
Ck vinyl sign companies for material

like so: http://www.rockinrudys.com/product_i...ducts_id=26133



and fyi it's a 11.5" by 3" sticker, so basically a normal bumper sticker size






also by the looks in the picture, it's a good chance it would just be a repaint of the cover, and not actually replacing the cover (i don't see gouges in the plastic and such in it)
