Guys,
Very unpleasant experience....anyway, here is the damage. there is a dent in my original bumper. Question : 1. can this be "repaired" or I should look for a replacement bumper? 2. where to look for a replacement 3. if it can be repaired, anyone has any idea on cost? I need to ask the other party to pay for this.... Thanks everyone.. Carson Attached thumbnail(s)

Wow, guys; thank you so much! This is great info.
Unfortunately, my situation is very complicated. I only visit california once a year for 4 - 6 weeks (and I m into my 4th week now). I may need to take some of your offers and seek help to get it fixed while i m away. But truly thankful for all the very useful info! Best, Carson |

And i was planning to take the 6 but now this happened.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Brings back memories of 1995. Spent months getting my 914 ready for Parade in Portland, only to be rear-ended by a Camry the ONE night I decided to take it on a dry run down to San Jose—two weeks before Parade. Rear bumper was bent, as was the panel between the lights. One taillight dead, but the trunk and quarters were okay. Sent my bumper and another one I had in to Stockton bumper, who said they could have it back to me in time. They called and didn't like either of mine, so they used one of theirs they had lying around. Turned out to be a 1970 bumper. So you should have time to get it fixed—but if they can't do it, drive it to Rennsport and then get it fixed. It's pretty minor, and I'd sure rather see the car than not see it. Looks purty...
