My worst luckiest day
Just as the title says, this has got to be one of my worst luckiest days. What makes it so bad is that I rear ended an FBI agent!!! The lucky part is that he didn't care and let me go. He didn't see any damage on his car and saw mine and said "Wow!" Then he saw my Department of Defense badge and asked how old I was. I'm only 18 so he gave me a lecture on how much my insurance was going to go up. After all that, he said, "Alright, have a nice day, I don't want your information." I was happy and sad all at the same time. Now to the point, I need to find a replacement bumper and fender. Would you guys get these parts from F-Body Motorsports or Hawks? Ive heard bad things about F-Body Motorsports but they list a GM bumper and Hawks doesn't. I just wanted to find you guys' opinion before I am forced to go to the dealer. Thanks

Running into a FBI agent, that is bad luck. At least he left you off.

The corner of my bumper hit the middle of his bumper, so the fender crumpled and the corner of my bumper is smashed in. It was kind of like I turned into him. I guess with the angle i hit him, there was no structure behind the corner of the bumper.
