I'm pretty sad/mad at myself. I went to prayers yesterday and it was pretty packed. I could have either waited for some one to leave and park it in their place or park it out on the street. Now some of you guys may know, I baby my car so much and I wouldnt think about parking it out on the street. Luckily, this lady was pulling out so I thought cool, I can park there. She left and I proceeded to move into the parking space. There was a big concrete slab or chunk that was placed in parking lots (u know what I mean?) with a big freaking bolt sticking out (I dont know why the hell they do that). I dont know what the hell I was thinking, but I insisted to move in a little closer. At this point I heard something scratch so I was like "Shoot, I scratched my bumper." I put it in reverse and moved back a little. Damn I heard this big noise of something break. My heart stopped. I got out only to find my bumper basically ripped off from the passenger corner because of that stupid freaking bolt. Now the bumper is hanging from the passenger side.

I'm so pissed off. But I guess its my fault. I shouldnt have taken my J30 there. It was a nice day out so I thought I should take it out. Bad move.

Anyways, I will take a pic of it. Meanwhile, can you guys tell me what my options are? I know there was a talk a while ago about the J-spec bumper. I tried search but did not get much info about it. Is there a place I can order it from? How much would it be? It looks pretty nice.

If I can only get a stock one, how much would it be? Anyone sell used bumpers?

For those of you from Chicagoland area, any reputable shops that will repair it?

Sorry for the long post. I'm just mad/sad/angry/whatever the hell you wanna call it.

I appreciate all of the help I get from here.

I have been so busy the last few days and couldnt come on as much. Now that I have some time, I will be on more.

Take care guys. Later...

Omar
