I hope all goes well with the repairs.
Back in 2001, a guy in a K5 blazer sideswiped my '97 Camaro while I was standing next to it, filling it with gas. Huge scrape down the front left fender. He stopped after he hit it, and then pulled out into traffic. The filling station was at a Costco, and it was busy as hell. I took off after him on foot and got him out to talk to me. He was like "oh, I didn't realize I hit you". And then he gave me bogus info. I thought I was good since I got his license info and an ins policy number. But he didn't live at that address anymore, and the policy had terminated. Effing scumbag...I'll catch up to him in hell |

In most cases, people on here would be telling you "sounds like the perfect time to get yourself a ZL1 bumper"...so I'll say it first...Sounds like the perfect time to get yourself another ZL1 bumper!
Glad to hear the guy did the right thing. Funny we all know what that is, but it is so difficult for most people to do it for some reason. Good on him.

The damage is not a lot but i cannot say that its minor since the bumper in person looks more damaged than in the picture due to the color. Oh and the guy had no damage to his truck since he had a trailer ball hitch that's why i only have damage on that side and not the entire bumper. The guy is in his early 50's so i think that has something to do with it, but i was shocked, by the most part people leave.

That's cool, some people still choose to do the right thing even when nobody is looking.

I agree ! But the problem is finding them amongst all the bad ones. Good for him and I'm also happy for you. Atleast it bring some calm to your nerves to know that someone owned up to their mistake. Nice car !!!

You know, you should go to the dealer and get an estimate so they can re-order you the correct bumper for your vehicle per your VIN.
Hope everything works out for you, good thing to hear your safe and did not have any bodily injuries. |

Nice...someone hit my parked car yesterday and drove off like nothing happened. The worst thing about it though is that I didn't notice the damage until I got home.

In the last three years I have had three incidents in parking lots where no one has owned up to there mistake. It sucks but I pride myself in that if I F.U. then I have to pay the consequences and I know many do, we just don't usually hear about it. Thanks for sharing.
