my car was parked in front of a starbucks and a freaking trailer home just hits me ... there were no cars around this guy was just an *******

Before


After


anyone knows what its going to take to fix it back? i mean it seems to me its unrepairable because of the fact that its the rear quarter panel.... the bumper can be replaced or fix i have no idea and thank god they barely grazed my rim not enough to notice ... word of advice to all just be careful where you park because there are ******** outthere that will hate on you.

 

You didn't call the cops? or he split?

The bumper can be replaced and painted DIY pretty cheap, but I would try to was buff that out as much as I could. If it's not dented too bad I bet most of that white is the trailer paint, not what's left after your paint being removed.

For starters, get a high speed buffer and buff that and then show us some pics. It will look 100% better after a buff I can promise.

agreed it doesn't even look that bad.

 

Wewt for a fellow Georgian (Just in AZ on a temporary basis)

 

you didnt call the cops? Or get his insurance info? Or get his plates?

i mean it sux but seems like u could have been much more assertive

 

you can see the kink on the rear quarter and most of the white is the trailer paint.. the guy didn't split but he was trying to flip the script saying i hit him and it was some bum looking dude with dreadlocks driving an 85 GMC trailer home .. the cops couldn't file the report because it was on private property but the officers said they pretty much know what happened and they will back me up on that ****. my insurance is seeking the reinbursement but if not i got a 500$ deductible and im just gonna let a body shop take care of it because i don't really wanna mess with it you know? i am just worried about the quarter panel the most because its part of the body i just don't see how they can fix it

they'll try to knock out the dent in the rear quarter panel as much as they can then fill,sand, and paint.

Is the bumper dented?or just scraped?if it's dented they'll probably fill it a little too then paint it

 

lol ive never seen a bumper "dent" i've always seen either completely demolished or just broken haha naw the bumper is alrite except 2 gouges 1 deep *** gouge it seems you can just sand it smooth and fill it but i don't like to half *** anything i would rather pull a new bumper

 

You can get oe replacement bumpers for CHEAP..

And paint it DIY because it's off the car, easier to prep, minimal taping. Then let the body shop do the 1/4.

Diy is nice and all but it wont match for ****. the pro. body shop will blend it with the panels making it look like it never happend. pay your deductable, you wont regret it getting done professionally

good luck!

 

Sucks, but it coulda been alot worse.

ya i am going to get it professionally done i will probaly buy a brand new bumper because its like 140$ even after they fix it and it looks like it "never happened" i will still know you know .. it sucks i love this car .. but thanks everyone for your thoughts and ideas.

 

damn taht sucks!

 

what do you mean you can't see how they'll fix it. it looks like an easy fix to me. well for a body shop that is. dent out the panel, bondo and repaint. same for the rear bumper. sand it, bondo and repaint. going to prolly run you 800+ to have it professionally done.

 

the damage isnt that bad from the pix.. it could of been worse. wheni saw the title i was like. omg. some guys car got messed up royally... but get it done professionally. it is a clean civic. make sure a good job gets done to it! good luck!

 

***** happen man. now fix it

 

damn that sucks man. such a beautiful ek, messed up by some jackass that can't drive

i had the same issue when some crackhead kid rear ended my bumper at a red light. really wasn't major as yours, but my bumper was pushed in a bit and it really needed to be repainted.

but good luck on gettin it all fixed though

yea a OEM bumper isn't too pricey like 140$ for a CAPA approved primered one new.. but ya it does suck *** i feel like i don't even want to drive my car anymore

 

ouch

 

bummer

 

ouch...

 

I do body work and paint. That is nothing! Like the guy said above, knock it out a little, wipe some filler on it and its ready for a nice sand and paint. Thats no more than a good door ding. I thought it would of been the whole side caved in. Then that would be different. Wouldn't take more than 15 minutes to fix that.
