Walked out to my car during lunch. Found this. Work accidentally punctured my bumper cover by backing into my car with a tow hitch in the back. They apologized and said "send us the bill, we will fix it"

So, the cover will have to be replaced:

New OEM JDM bumper cover JHP $700 shipped
Labor/Paint ~$1300

They are in for a surprise. Front end will have to be resprayed because the bumper cover is new. And its not just a typical USDM bumper cover. =X

 

Ouch. That sucks.

Pocket the money and duct tape!

 

coulda been worse!

1300 for a bumper spray? damn. a buddy of mine just had his civic front bumper, hood, and left quarter panel sprayed with some minor body work for 900.

 

good old chevy guys cant drive

 

Spraying a new bumper cover would involve matching it to the fender, hood, and lip, meaning it would have to be repainted entirely.

 

sorry to hear that. atleast they are willing to pay for it. It will look as good as new in no time.

i just got my front and rear bumper resprayed and had my rear oem valances molded on at a buddy's shop for $750.

 

try ICB http://www.jdmland.com for a bumper

 

At least you get those stone chips fixed up

you mean blending, migs?

 

Sounds like he'll have them blend the whole front clip into the doors.

Sucks about the damage. Glad it wasn't some uninsured goob or a hit & run.

 

That sucks dude, at least they're paying for it though

 

at least they owned up to their mistake

 

They didn't try to get away with it... That's good, haha.

 

Alot of accidents as of late... crazy. Same with theft.. when one is stolen... so are 10 others!

 

WTH! sounds like they will have to repaint complete car, because they can't match a simple yellow ! LMAO!
people ,get real ,it's a freaking bumper, and in this day and age perfect colormatch is very possible, you just need to find a right shop to do the repairs

I had my front bumper cover & lip spoiler resprayed back in '02 at the shop the local Acura dealer uses. They were able to match the paint just fine, although they were careless in other ways, heh. I don't know what "people" you're addressing, but I was essentially saying the same thing you are, in a joking manner.

Just thinking the same thing. Damn, sorry to hear man.
At least someone else will be footing the bill on this.

 

Luckily they will take care of the bill.

Save the damaged bumper, I'm sure some race car can make use of it in the future.

 

well, seeing the type of cars you deal with on the norm, your company has money to make things right. Not just that, they are car guys; they understand what damage and paint does to a car's worth. They'll understand.

also, next time you come out east coast for a delivery. toss the bumper in the trailer, i'll buy it. race car could use an extra bumpa...

 

so sucks

 

yikes! you have a bling co.

 

Ouch! Damn it at least it lil could of been alot worse dude

 

when i was parked in the Lotus factory car park and thrashing one of their Elise's round their track a large dumpster type bin blew into the side of my car and put a nasty dent in my front wing and took a couple of chunks out of my alloy


Lotus paid for a new wing and refurbbed the alloy and had it all painted. took my car away on a trailer and gave me a rental then dropped it back off again

its awesome when you get treated well

 

Sorry for the confusion, but because of the rock chips on fenders and hood, that is why I said the whole front end will have to be resprayed/blended.

ummmm nooooooooo... you def have to get it blended in to the fenders, hood and lip. I dont care about this day and age and all this other jive lingo you want to throw at me but when the paint shop starts to spray that fresh yellow on there, it wont match exactly to the surrounding parts. Its not just a bumper.

I see that your going to get the OEM plastic bumper instead of the fiberglass one... good call.
