Crashed into a civic last nite

so it was nite time.....raining and stuff........i sat in my car and open up the garage door........i started the car, looked back and started backing up..........i was looking back the whole time until i hit something and came to a stop.......i had no idea whats going on so i got off and theres the front of a civic hiding in my blind spot.......argh........didnt see that at all.......now the front bumper and the front fender of the civic are .....horribly dented..........then i looked at mine.......luckily it was only a few scratches..........but then i had to contact the owner and stuff.......guess im paying for that .......

and today i looked at my bumper again and i found some cracks in the paint......do u guys know how to fix that?......do i have to repaint the bumper??!! ....o and i got the estimate for the civic....its around 1000 bucks.........man that sucks.....

Sorry to hear about your car man
That really sucks.... I dont think you can repair the cracked paint... will probably have to get the bumper repainted !

Yea, you gotta get the whole bumper repainted. It sucks, i know. It'll probabl;y cost between 300-500 bucks.

Go to Jata on the north shore. They did mine after I was rear ended. Talk to Ted. Tell him Rod, red SS Cobalt, recommended them. You should be able to get it done for $300.
