Had that happen too but I didn't hit the guy. I double check now before proceeding.

thanks for the input guys - i've had it happen to me a few times before- but i was always watching, the guy that i hit really couldn't drive worth a darn, then again he was like 90....

i decided to go with a CARA bumper off ebay - 313 for a painted and shipped bumper that is just like stock but dosn't have the oem sticker on it.

i gotta go down to the garage and take the bumperoff and see what else i have to buy to get her looking nice again.

I had some young girl run into me, I replaced my front end with a GT take-off front bumper/grill & fogs from newtakeoff.com and it cost me like $550 bucks to replace everything. And yes the V6 & GT are interchangeable.

Just get a bumper, matching grill, corner lense looks fine, and some touch up paint for the hood. If you get extra $$$ later on then you can go back and make everything perfect if it still bugs you.

I did that too. Stupid lady was EATING while driving, and slammed on the brakes because she dropped her sandwich. I knew it was my fault for rear-ending her, but I made her feel like it was hers so she paid for it (she was pretty stupid).

Good luck man.

If you have a clean record and low deductible, it might be worth to claim it.
Ask your Insurance...
