Damn me! Well, the unthinkable happened today... thought I could avoid this forever... but as my luck has been goin... well, NO SUCH LUCK!
I was leaving work today and what do you think I did? I backed into a freakin gaurd post! I have no idea what it was gaurding, but DAMN it was solid! I was watching my mirrors, just letting it idle out in reverse... saw a large gap and had JUST released my foot of the brake completely, just aobut to step on the gas... and WHAM! Just about bit my freakin tongue off! OUCH!
The damage seems to isolated to just the rear bumber wrap... nothing damaged on the door... it opens and closes just fine. The tail lights work and are without scratches. I also found out for sure that my bumper had been damaged before... there is a thin layer of some kind of putty on it... kinda blueish-green in color (putty-kote I think).
I want to completely replace my bumper wrap if it is feasible... might not be at this point... but want to check on it. Who do you recommend for new VX parts? I seem to recall something like St. Charles Isuzu or something like that being mentioned before. Anyone know who I'm talking about? Any other suggestions? What is this gonna set me back? Do I even want to know?
Thanks in advance. TTYL!
