Ouch dude. What are you going to replace it with, gp sports again?

I don't know how I would react if someone hit my car .... Lucky it wasnt enough force to break that beautiful greddy fmic, that would be some serious cash if he did.

FMIC is ok. I do have another GP sports bumper to put on the car, but its still gonna cost 400+ bux to paint and fit it (larger holes for intercooler pipes, rivet on the lower metal ducting etc..) and i still have to charge the guy for the bumper. So heres a question i guess, what do you think I should charge the guy for the GP sports bumper I have? No sense in giving him parts when I didnt screw my car up. I think a nice round # of 1000 total to keep it out of insurance hands

$1000 would be fine if he isn't very smart... the bumper is only $180 on ebay.

Hell yeah. I need to get full coverage.

You should ask him to pay up or your taking it out of his ***. Either 10 falcon punches to the *****, payment out of pocket or you go after his insurance and **** up his rate.

Be a dick. Seriously. NO REMORSE!

I think Molding bumpers to cars is extremely retarded i see no advantage on having it done.

I like the lines of parts flowing together in a car not to mention and it looks extremely cheap
The bumper is the part that will get more easily damages and will need replacing the most out any vehicle.
