Body work?

Someone backed into my car the other day and ran... I couldn't catch them because I was inside at my job and heard someone yelling outside, but it was too late... Mother f-----s... They hit the front bumper that goes all the way around the headlights and such... It bent it, but luckily it all fell back into place, so it wasn't that bad, its just that now I have a crease mark on the drivers side front plastic where it folded and went back and theres a little indent where the plastic got creased... What can I do to fix this? I'm at school right now so I can't get pics until I get home...

They dented the plastic front bumper on the drivers side where it wraps around the side of the headlights

Re: Body work?

try craigslist or a similar site. i goit 2 front bumpers for 50 a pop along with headlight brackets, etc. worth a shot. it's not hard to put on yourself, so you'd save a few bucks there.
