Got Rear Ended...

In a friggin parking lot, when I wasn't even the car. F-er left without leaving a note too. Anyway insurance won't cover it, cops won't do anything, and I'm in the market for a new rear bumper. How do we feel about this? Damn good price compared to stock, that's for sure. My only concern is that I don't see reverse lights...

2007 - 2009 Pontiac G5 B-2 Rear Bumper Fiberglass - 127408 -...





Note* If I get it it will be this color silver, my car is essentially the same minus the chrome rims, door moldings and fart cannon.

Opinions?

True, but it is pretty simple as far as rear bumpers go, unless I can find a stock one for under $300 shipped.

That's true man. I just figure despite its aftermarket nature it's still somewhat simple because it doesn't have a lip or anything.

And yeah, G8's safe and sound asleep in her garage.

Already tried that, newer building so the cameras aren't functional yet.

You get what you pay for.

OEM > cheesy looking bumper cover

And how does insurance NOT cover something like this? Do you have collision coverage?
