My dad hit my car with the lawn mower...

My dad got a zero turn mower this past spring and I guess he still can't drive it. He cracked the lower piece of the body kit, haha he thought I could just order up another one on ebay. I wish he would have said something I would of moved my car out of his way. Is it fixable and what would the range be at a body shop to fix this?



He caught it with the wheel and tire.



Just another photo of my car, just so I don't get something that tells me to go lower in the front, I have a 1.5 finger gap it just looks that way because of my 225-45-18 tires.

I don't have confidence in my sisters driving, and it is the only place that I can park in the shade and not on the basketball court and for some reason I can't get a garage spot even though my dad always parks infront of the door and not in it.

that's a bummer, but it's fixable.. little bit of plastic weld and some good ol paint would do the trick

I'm pretty sure your father felt bad, Hey my dad just recently curbed my rim when he drove it. It's not the end of the world

look on the bright side, atleast you get a new painted rear bumper and lip

did it take the paint off or just leave rubber on it? If it just left rubber on it a majority will come off with some rubbing compound Epoxy the lip together like somebody else said if you cant find a new one

Use a clay bar instead of rubbing compound because it will scratch the paint. That is if you don't have to repaint the bumper.

Well now you don't have confidence in your dad's lawn mower either.

Sucks it was your dad. If someone else did that to my car, I would be screaming all over the place.

Then I would sue.

The fact that it's your dad puts you in an awkward position. I say, if he's not making any move to pay for it, drop hints there, act kinda pissed about the car, it will make him feel bad and eventually he will pay. If that doesn't work, ask him upfront, "are you going to fix my car or not?" Hope you don't have to do that though, and best of luck.

I am not getting it fixed till the spring, because I plan on getting the whole car repainted. My dad will just be chipping in a few hundred dollars. For now I think I am taking damaged goods off and installing some color matched mud guards. That will be after I finish my HID fogs this weekend.
