Bummer. The good thing is you weren't hurt and the bumper did its job. It can be replaced, you can't. Hopefully the fool had good insurance.

Really sorry to see that.I really worry driving my car about stuff like this.Almost afraid to take it out of the garage anymore.I know it is just a car and can be repaired but I just do not want my car wrecked up.Good luck on getting your car repaired.

Sorry about the wreck! TS front ends are great though. I want one on my vette.

Will the new front end cost you anything extra?
