Default Help! Fast! my car is going to the shop..

OMG!!!!!!!! what the hell is going on. is this lexus accident month????? a few hours ago my car was parked in a parking lot, and some guy hits it and runs..i come out of a store and go to my car and notice the damage. luckily i had a witness that took down all the info...it happened to be someone that works for my dad -=z..well i got his insurance and everything, so car is going to the shop..

heres the question..my rear bumper needs to be replaced..so im just gonna have them replace it with the vielside one. where could i get this from within a week and for a good price. i might have to pay the difference out of my pocket. also, is the vielside rear bumper any lower that the stock one? will it look wierd if i just change the rear bumper? are there any other rear bumpers out there that arent crazy (but still noticable as an aftermarket part), that pretty much keeps the stock height..i might get the side skirts and front bumper also..depends on how much the insurance company gives me. o and could i get ballpark prices on em..

please try to answer all the questions and be as descriptive as possible to avoid back and forth responses so that we could save time..cars going to the shop soon.

thanks soooo much...cant wait till this disaster is over. went from not one scratch or ding on the car for 2 years, to a whole messed up side...my head hurts -=z i feel everyones pain, specially those of you who have it a lot worse.. but what could we do..-=z

Steve @ Carson Toyota can get you the Veilside bumper pretty quick. Veilside is just cross the street from him

Veilside is lower than stock for sure. You can also try RMM, their rear bumper is more closer to the stock one but is still lower.

F,

veilside rear is quite low, but if you do plan to get the sides, go for it. call steve ganz at carson 1800-90-toyota, he has good prices.

or rod millen's rear is not as low, and the prices are cheaper.

put it this way........ after a week of driving without washing my car after the pads are on......... I thought my bro took my front wheels to a shop and powder coated them gunmetallic......

Brent doesn't have to worry about that

they're VERY dusty at first but then now I rarely see any dust.
