Here is a GT Kona Blue bumper for $379, I'm sure you could still get it shipped for less than $500.

New Take Off doesn't have any Kona Blue V6 bumper at the moment though. :/

Sorry to hear that bro...that is a crappy week!

I was going to recommend New Take Off, but Tanner beat me to it. ;-)

Hope you are able to get everything fixed up and replaced inexpensively. Good luck!

Why would someone steal the faux gas cap? What kind of world do we live in..

Chase down who was driving infront of you, and have their insurance pay for it.

Or....depending on the situation....consider it a lesson learned and don't tail gate

If you weren't tail gating, than that really sucks about what happened to your front bumper.

On my '69 vert. I had multiple attempts of someone trying to steal my actual gas cap. Luckily, it never sat long without me watching it and it has a steel cable attaching it to the car. Never understood how people can disrespect others hard earned dollars.

Sorry to hear about your week, that sucks. Hope you get it back in top shape sooner than later.

Man, that really sucks. Road hazards like that exist, but what can you do?

I've no idea how old you are, but life tends to teach us little lessons as we pass through. This one's about not letting the little stuff bother you. You won't even care five years from now.

To repair that damage and to repaint will cost much more than $500. Some paint shops won't even open a tin of paint for less than $500. Have a reputable shop do an estimate using OEM parts.

I`m sorry about the car. Things like that can and do happen but if this is really the worst week ever for that reason, you can count yourself among the verrrry lucky.
