I have no clue when, but I just got back from the Pontiac place because my little door lock knob broke and they got me a new one. Well I get home and park and see some "dirt" on my front bumper and on my headlight. I thought the boardwalk people had slung dirt on it while weedeadint again. I went to brush it off AND THE BUMPER FLEXES IN!! I look closer and its all scratched as well as the headlight, the alignment of the bumper on the driver side is off, and where it gor pushed up against the fender, it is split!! So I need a new bumper and headlight.


YOU JUST CAN'T FUCKIN HAVE NICE SHIT ANYMORE!!!! DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forum/images/smilies/gr_mad.gif http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forum/images/smilies/gr_mad.gif http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forum/images/smilies/gr_mad.gif

[Injected1]

[DustnF]

Damn dude that sucks so bad! Did they leave any paint on your car? Do the same people park around you daily? I would not rest until I found out who it was...someone knows something.

Hmmm... thinkin' about it. If it isn't any more expensive than the Pontiac bumper... I might be mad tyte "ADM" haha.

What do y'all think?

EDIT: New, smaller picture with Holden grille removed.

[slowLX]

sorry to hear it.

motherfuckers need to have some respect

do it, monaro conversion ftw

[tedness]

makes it look less cavalier-ish

[tanglewood]

makes it look less cavalier-ish

I was thinking more mustangish.

[slmdLS1]

thats what living with 400+ college students in that complex will get you(even though its not your fault) but they have no respect for other people's nice cars.

do the conversion of the pic you posted...looks nice.

and take parking lessons from brett and park alone from now on, lol.

[slmdLS1]

and stop leeching fullsizechevy's smilies.

[96s10]

welcome to the club. i was in the garage last night working and looked at my grill. someone hit the front of my grill and cracked it. i backed into a parking spot yesterday and based on the height, i'm guessing it was a truck. i feel your pain man.

[Mr_Bond]

That sucks.

[sstony]

oh noes. that sux donkey balls. i knew we should have set the barracade around your car. i like that different bumper--go ahead--do it

[tedness]

gets rid of the signature pontiac shape.

..i like.

looks a bit meaner w/o front badging.

Yeah, Brett told me about that.

I just emailed JHP in Victorio Australia about the bumper. From what I read, they are like $560 (USD) and shipping is almost as much as the bumper. That might be a little much. I'm awaiting their response, and I'll also check on stock replacement bumper as well. If the stock one from Pontiac $600 I'm gonna have to go with that.

[HeavyChevy3800]

Thats sucks. A wounded goat. You should bring it inside at night :mrgreen:

[TurboStutr]

sorry man, that sucks...people just dont give a shit about anything in that town. and they were probably drunk

[SloNLo_350]

My deductible IS only $500... so that is great to hear. Now if only I can convince the insurance company that I really have to order the bumper from Australia.

[lsevenl]

that sucks ass! get a new bumper if you can afford it. That will look really nice!

[BreBar21]

Brett's assessment,

A good bodyshop can fix everything. The bumper isn't that bad all all and plastic can be filled. My $.02.

[scooby]

sorry to hear that chase

[SloNLo_350]

So Geoff from JHP just returned my email. $1450 for the conversion shipped. I think I'll pass on that one!! hahaha

Also just for fun I inquired about the HSV Coupe4 body kit... the one that came on the AWD Monaro... $7000 shipped!!!

Also I just noticed this... their Avalanche kicks our's ASS!!

Yeah that plastic can probably be welded by someone with the proper equipment for much cheaper than a new bumper+paint. Just have the insurance company cut you a check for a new bumper and paint, then have someone weld it and just paint the one spot.

Unless the insurance guy will only give me money to do it that way, I am getting a new bumper. My mom said they when they did the estimate on her BMW it was WAY high, and it was fairly high when my truck got rear ended. So maybe that will help out with the deductible. I want it all right and all new, not half ass glued back together and buffed out.

I did go out and look at it again and it is hardly noticible. I guess my initial rage at people's idiocy caused me to exagerate a little (even I believe it was as bad as I said it was haha). All my paint is still there, but the lines aren't all striaght now (it was under a flourescent street light, so I could see EVERYTHING) and it is boogered up pretty good on that corner, so I want a new one. I checked on the bumper with a guy that hooks people up on GTO Forum. He hasn't gotten back to me yet, but hopefully he'll get me a good price on one. I'll also check with Jason Cromer after I get a check from the insurance.

[88leadsled]

If its a little crack and someone with an actual plastic welder did it would be fine.

But that probably won't work I just forgot about that because my family owns all our cars so they just cut us a check based on the estimates we give them and we can do with it as we please. And since I worked in a bodyshop over the summer we usually ended up with extra money or no deductible since I got the hook up there. If its financed then that doesn't really work since its in the banks interest that its fixed properly, and if they are going to pay for it I would just get a new bumper then.

Wow, that was a lot of writing to say basicly nothing.

I would seriously check with a bodyshop before you fuck with insurance. Unless I missed something earlier (which is possible), it is not bad at all.

Ok, I just looked again. Definately check with a body shop. The crack is less than a 1/4". I reacted just the same when I fucked my bumper up. Give it a couple days before you make any decisions.

Here are some pics for everyone's viewing pleasure.

[Greg Kulbick]

Probably less than the deductible for a new headlight and spot match if it even needs more than a buffing.

[SloNLo_350]

Yeah, the paint wasn't actually sratched... much. I rubbed most of the paint off. And like i said, when I was so pissed earlier it looked alot worse. But I am not gonna have a busted bumper on my brand new car. I want a new one. And if it happens again, I'll have another new one. Had it not split it, it'd be fine... and I don't care if "no one would ever notice it". I have a nice car, and it is gonna be done right!

[Greg Kulbick]

Well, your money to waste. :shrug:

[SloNLo_350]

Well, your money to waste. :shrug:
Exactly, so hush.

[Greg Kulbick]

Why not just get a whole new car since its not going to be the bumper that came on it from the factory. Its still won't be perfect. It'll have a different bumper and different paint. It'll never be perfect, just scrap the whole thing.

[J8127]

I know a lot of times bumpers will be fixed but after a few years the "spot" will begin to show itself again

Or I'll just go get some Elmers and a blue Sharpie. That'll fix it for REAL cheap.

Blue duct tape. It works for NASCAR.

[hivltge04]

Exactly, so hush.


I agree, you should have it fixed the right way, if for no other reason than because you want it that way. It's your car and as you said, it's brand new (and not to mention, not exactly a cheap car). Therefore it should be done to the highest standards. :tup:

[LordofChaos]

that fuckin sucks man!

[thetastelingers]

definitely sux.
kharma is a mother though.
they will get it.
doesn't really help your bumper to get fixed though... :roll:

[SloNLo_350]

hahahaha yeah.

GTODealer on GTOforum got back to me on the bumper. $295!! That is great. I am also going to talk to Jason Cromer, because that would excellent if he could get me one at that price with no shipping!!

On a side note... remember the old messed up big screen?
here's whats left after my room mates got a hold of it last night. The police have been notified. Maybe THIS time something will get done. Maybe I WILL have some money for a shifter after all!

[scooby]

Are your roomates stupid i hope the cops do something

[Bullhead00]

That sucks big time Chase! I'd probably be wanting to kill someone if that had happened to my new ride. I'd also have to fight my roommate if something like that happened.

[Gt]

wth did they do to it and why did they do it?

[SloNLo_350]

wth did they do to it and why did they do it?
To my old projection TV (48" I believe). Why? Because they were all high as a damn kite last night.

[thetastelingers]

damn dood.....I would be looking for other means of housing.

[BreBar21]

That blows, Chase.

See if we can trade our fucked up roommate for you. Just move across the way.

[J8127]

Ok the meet tonight is at Chase's apartment...bring baseball bats, brass nuckles, knives, guns, and other implements of ass kickery for use on his roomates.

I'll bring a hot sodering iron to stab people in the face. :wicked:

[tomwid]

Ouch, that sucks man. Buy or rent a house w/ a garage so that your baby can be housed as well. Apartment complexes suck if you like to keep your car looking new. Lots of inconsiderate people around.

[SloNLo_350]

haha... that isn't a bad idea. Does he want to move out? I'm sure if he wants to leave, we can work something out with the office. I would LOVE to get out of here. But if not I can tough it out for another few months. I'll just stay in my room ALL THE TIME, and lock the door everytime I leave. It kinda sucks, but I'll have to keep all of my food in my room too, because they eat anything left in the kitchen.

[DustnF]

That is fucked up...are you sure one of those fuckers didnt kick your car? It does not look like they have any respect for other peoples property.

[SloNLo_350]

Yeah, it was definitely hit by a silver car. I also spotted a silver Alero in the parking lot with a scuff on the back bumper and the scratches on it were similar to the ones on my car. But I can't prove it was that car because there is no blue paint on his (but that scuff has no paint from another car on it, and its paint came off). But looking at the cars in this complex, I am almost positive that on that side lot, Brett's and my car are one of maybe 4 that don't have scuffed up bumpers. And mine and Brett's are the only ones that stay clean. No one gives a shit about their cars here!!

[SloNLo_350]

Oh, and the fender is creased as well. Add that to the list.

I tend to think this is probably grounds to break your lease. Raise some hell. Get your folks involved. The management cowers in the face of parents.
