Oh, you should have heard this dude when I called him the night it happened.
He tells me that he got out and looked at the damage and that it looked like all it needed was paint and that it would be good. LOL. I was very nice and respectful and told him that it was definitely worse than that. He said that he once got hit a few years ago and he needed a new bumper and that it cost like $300-$400 for a new one. Another LMFAO! I simply said, let me get an estimate and we'll go from there. This isn't a Civic or a Sentra which are a dime a dozen with aftermarket companies making cheap replica parts for them. The 2 times I've had to be at a body shop (this instance and the one late last year which you can read about in this thread), both guys told me that they don't make aftermarket replica parts for our cars. You have started to see some cheap JDM bumper replica's but no OEM USDM rear bumper replica's.
Dude is in for a rude awakening when he hears $3,228! Hah!
$1,000 doesn't get you sh!t these days!
