Default Bad Luck today.. Hit and Run.. options

Bad Luck today. Went into Macy's to pay off a credit card came back out about 20 mins later and looks like someone backed up into my front end with a pole! Looks like I might just have to change the bumper / grill.. any idea guys/gals?

Omg I'm so sorry to see this. I think if you have insurance coverage it should be ok. Get a quote on how much it will be to fix then talk to your insurance? Similar thing happened to me a while back and insurance paid for it without raising my premium.

Btw I got my car from Serramonte too !

Ouch, looks like a truck with a tow hitch did that.

There is another member selling his front bumper in the classifieds, same color as yours and he is in Berkeley.

Here is the classified listing

Happened to my old car too, my insurance took care of it and my rates didn't change. I did have to pay the deductible.

Sorry to see that, ignorant drivers are the worst.
Looks like a new bumper cover, grill and brackets are in order!

Dang, I really feel for you. Your insurance will take care of this as a no fault. Your rates should not increase at all. However, the bright side is if you've been wanting to any grill or bumper upgrades, now is your chance and it will end up being less expensive for you. You could do the upgrades and only have to pay the difference. :-)

Looks pretty bad.

Should just pay your deductible and have your insurance take care of it. Looks like you will need a whole new front bumper, grill, and reinforcement foam.

Sorry to hear bout that. On the bright side lucky your hood and headlights aren't damaged. Hope everything gets taken care of.
