Apparently they finished washing and clay baring my car. Then all of a sudden while trying to park my car the curb just jumped right out and hit my front bumper.

That's sounds like a good idea. What do you suggest, Mr-Not-So-Happi.

So far no flack, but as soon as he gets the bill a little flack and a little more dough. If not there's always his car wash shop insurance. Isn't that what insurance is for, "just in case *****" (Chris Rock). I hate getting the insurance involved.

I doubt they pay all the car washes have that little notice posted about them not being responsible for any damage to equipment on car that's not oem.

You may call me a little b*tchy, but I brought my car in perfect condition (newly painted and lots of work put into the kit to look as good as it does). The kit wasn't even color sanded yet, that's how good the kit came out.

Not only is it cracked, but right underneath the bumper it is split in the center, with also a little tear in the lower portion of the little support that goes from top to bottom. I could fix it, but why would I. It's not my fault. If it was then yes, I would.

I think that is they put it through the machine. I may or not be wrong, I'm not sure.

man...that sucks so bad...

I'd get them to get me a new bumper as well...why settle with a "repaired" bumper?

PM AutoCoutureSC if you need the brand new stuff ASAP, he has an extra kit laying around...

Best of luck getting this resolved quickly...

I'll definitely keep that in mind, thanks. I still have to wait and see whether or not they will accept my terms. If not then I may have to get insurance involved. I sure do hope I don't have too.
