I just got back from securing it.... my bumper cleared that concrete thing... it was the splash guard that got caught on the rebar

for reals man.... I dont understand why they have to make them so damn high sometimes. I would've been ok if it wasnt for that stupid rebar. This was at my work parking lot and I usually park at the same spot every night... just so happens that my spot was taken.

Its all held up with zip ties... I hope my dealer has a bumper cover in stock.

ha ha ha! I was just about to ask you that.

Just called my dealer.. new bumper is $560 and will take about 3 weeks to get here. There goes my rotors fund.

You guys think a body shop can fix the bumper?

Thats no good man, hope you get it all fixed up. And yea, I also look like an idiot when I don't back into my spots. I'm like miles away from the front/concrete. I always step out and take a look at how far I am, makes me look stupid
