UGH. Crashed my girlfriends car today.......(WITH PICS NOW)

lilnicko11 · Post by **lilnicko11** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 11:24 pm

SO FML. Today I wasn't paying attention in my colleges parking lot and hit my girlfriends front bumper on her 01 toyota camry on another car. (of course not even a scratch on the other vehicle) . I'm 23 now and have had my license since 16 and have never had an accident be my fault til now. Jeesh, I guess that asians were not meant to drive asian cars. I did it backing out and when I swung the car out I did not clear the driver front end. (stupidity by me for not paying attention. I'll post a picture in the morning. but in this case I am going to consider myself an epic fail

. sooo heres to more debt and oweing my girlfriend a new front bumper. Any one got an idea how much it'll prob run me or the ways to go about it? any ways i can cut corners? later guys.

Texting on 2gn, while backing out = taking one for the team.

Just don't ever let her find out.

Seriously tho, that sucks.

Depending on how bad the bumper is damaged, they may be able to repair it for less than a new one/paint.

A new bumper for an 01 camry is $50 from certifit. They are the highest quality, but they get the job done.

You would be surprised what they can do with plastic bumpers.

depends on how bad you hit.

Certifit ftw in this case.

True, but if it's in the parking lot it shouldn't be bad at all.

I got hit on I-66 in VA last year and even the estimator didn't think they would be able to get the creases out of the rear bumper cover. They ended up getting it all done with plastic repair rather than replacing the rear bumper cover.

i just went to the certifit location and picked up the bumper, dont know if they have a delivery deal kind of thing.

Mat00ES · Post by **Mat00ES** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 9:08 am

You'd have to pick it up at one of their locations. That looks like your going to need a new bumper to me.

sorry to hear that but at lease it wasnt ur srt4.
parking lots are a no fault "zone" (well in my state)

All right, no copying me and having to get a new bumper!

Glad that no one was hurt, that's the important thing.

Unfortunately, the closest one is in Cleveland.

I thought Certifit shipped?

Post by **racer12306** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 10:15 am

Yeah, that's not repairable

Good luck. Time to search some junkyards.

neonpla · Post by **neonpla** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 10:42 am

i'd tell her to get over it, it's an old car anyway.

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 10:52 am

Looks totalled. I dunno how anyone would be able to fix that. :'(

Panhead · Post by **Panhead** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 11:16 am

It'll buff right out, no sweat. Besides, its just a Toyota...

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 11:40 am

Are you sure the gas pedal wasn't stuck and made you crash?

lilnicko11 · Post by **lilnicko11** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 12:05 pm

can anyone verify if certifit delivers or not??

Post by **racer12306** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 12:38 pm

Call them?

silversport · Post by **silversport** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 1:57 pm

Just go grab one off a car in the junk yard. it will probably cost you like $40 and if your lucky it will already be colour matched

Mat00ES · Post by **Mat00ES** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 2:26 pm

I can take a trip over there if need be, just have to get it to you afterwards.

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 2:41 pm

Certifit does ship, but shipping almost kills the good price.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 4:09 pm

If there's no certifit near you, junkyards are your friend.

Ay, so sorry! Good luck!
