After some moron hit my parked car and taking off. Leaving my Driver side fender all dented up, headlight dented into my hood causing my headlights to stay erected and my sidemarker in pieces I was furiously mad. :mad:

But I attemtped to fix the small problem and make it look better by morphing the bumper with the ol' hairdryer. :uh:

My attemption I think I failed :dunno:

Pictures are seen Below.

I'm thinking of shaving off the other sidemarker and creating a custom sidemarker for it.

I'll photoshop it to see what I can come up with.. !! :rolleyes:

If you have full coverage insurance, shouldn't insurance take care of it?

I really don't know how much help a hairdryer is with sheetmetal, I've never heard of that before. I think your best bet is to go to the junk yard and get a new one, That one is toast.

He was talking about the bumper. For using a hairdryer, it looks pretty good. You do need a new fender though.

Yes after much body work to get it looking good again and some engine work along with finishing up the Nitrous install.

Yes I do need a new fender, i'm gonna get a new fender and install that in a few weeks.

And yes if I did have full coverage they would cover it...

But since I couldn't afford full coverage at the time.

Look what happens haha!!

Oh well after looking at the car today, I realized maybe I did a good attempt on making the bumper look better :rolleyes:
