This is so wrong! I really hope cameras got this and you can nail this! Looks like a brodozer with a hitch bounced off your hood/bumper...

Upgrade Opportunity!

It could have been worse. I had a Uhaul knock down a large carport that my Camaro was under. I took the motorcycle to work that day.

The car was crushed and a complete write off.

The Uhaul renter did not have adequate insurance to cover the 3 cars he totalled that were under the car port.

Time for an upgraded bumper and hood for you.

I had been considering an upgraded bumper. Hadn't done much research on the subject because didn't think it might happen soon. How does something like that work? I ID one I like and they install and paint it and I pay the difference? Is there a part number for a gt3 version that is a direct fit? Other options? What about hood options?

Went to three shops today. One declined because he doesn't do exotics. I appreciate that he told me. The other two are at $4k. Both said the bumbler could be repaired and the hood had to be replaced. They also said that's just the tip of the iceberg. They will know more once they take it apart.
