Car got hit !
Yes, it was parked at work and some old lady backed into the front bumper. Its not destroyed by any means but I will need a new bumper. Does anyone know what the cost of a new front bumper and paint will be ? Just curious because I want to get the Tigershark front nose and I am curious as to how much the difference will be. Thanks

The quote to replace and paint the nose on my '04 was right at $1075. $500-ish for the nose and the same to paint it. If I remember, the Tiger nose is around $899, so there's a bit of a difference in the cost, but not terrible. I almost did it myself...

Bummer
Sorry about your car. Take a deep breath and remember, she is someone's mother and we will all be old someday. I know that doesn't make it much better, but now that my father has passed and I am spending more time helping my elderly mother, I have a lot more compassion for some of those older folks who are trying to stay independent by getting out and about by themselves, usually slowing the rest of us down or hitting things they can't seem to see like they once could. Try to see the positive (I know it's tough and easy for me to say) that you may get a mod partially paid for by her insurance. Good luck and be happy no one was injured. At lease I hope you didn't hurt her
