Black Aaron, post pictures of the hit and run damage.

Hang in there, it'll be taken care of before you know it and the car will come out with new parts and paint making it better than it was before.

What?!?


Man I've had my Progress RSB sitting for almost 10 months. Need to get off my lazy ass and put it on already...


Edit: Just saw your post about installing stockies too. I think you should definitely try painting them gunmetal, would look awesome with your NBP.

Nice jack btw haha. I got the same one last week. Harbor freight FTW.

at responses. maybe i shouldn't have sent out a chain text.

yeah so i go to the gym, park my car, pick up heavy objects and then put them down. afterwards, i walk out to my car and get in (it's dark outside)...i start the car and then see a note attached under my wiper blade.



at this point i'm like WTF but then realize...well hey, she left a note. so i walk around the car like 3 times (it was dark) and then finally notice the damage. looks like she backed out of her parking spot and just bumped into my rear bumper on the right side which also cracked the tail light (modified by JnC).









so...i'll need a new rear bumper (get it painted) and a new tail light (get it modified again).

all in all, things could be worse...she could have hit my door/exhaust/trunk. been dealing with insurance/body shops all day getting estimates. i'll let you guys/girls know the outcome by the weekend.

at least you got a note, but more importantly did you get dumb girl's insurance info?

i'm happy to see it was only the bumper and the tail light. what a pain. there goes a week of your life for your bumper. at least now if you had any blemishes in it...they'll be gone! keep us updated. i feel your pain shark....(sigh). another injured TL.
