Hit and Run

Hey guys wassup. I went to go eat yesterday and i parked my car in a parking lot. I come back to see that my car has been hit and there is no note or anything. It is pretty bad. I was just hoping to see if you guys could tell me if this dent can be popped out before i go to a bodyshop tomorrow. I am hoping it doesn't cost too much to fix.

Dang... Crappy... Doesn't look like the body creased at all so you might be able to just pop it out with a dent puller... Hopefully the original body line going thru the middle of the dent doesn't get affected though...

Inifiniti bumpers are notorious for being expensive. Hopefully you have a low deductible.

Yup that's a clear cut insurance claim, not at fault accident. You'd have to pay your ded. but they won't uprate you at renewal. Just hope your ded. is lower than a new bumper. These are plastics, so theirs no popping it out, you could but the finish is crap, they will likely just replace it and repaint.

^thats messed up,

claim it, pay the few hundred for the deductible,

bumper and paint and install is about 1200 (high end body shops) from what I remember. so definitely do through your insurance.

good luck bro
