Newbie saying "hello" & has a question

Hello all, my name is Daniel and I own a 1998 Nissan Maxima SE. I purchased the car new in the summer of 1998. It currently has 45,000 miles and still runs like a champ. I have always tried my best to keep it looking new on the outside and the inside.

Unfortunately on last Friday, some one backed into it while I was inside a grocery store. The person took off afterwards without saying anything. Another customer saw this and wrote down the license plate number. She came inside and had another lady page the owner of Maxima to come to the customer service desk. When I got there, she informed me of what happened and gave me the plate number. I had a buddy who is also a sheriff run the plate number for me, but it didn't come up with anything....so she may have written down the wrong number.

Needless to say, now my car has a big time blemish because of someone else's carelessness. The vehicle that hit it apparently had a trailer hitch on it, and it cracked my bumper cover pretty good. Now I am trying to find out where I can get a replacement bumper cover for a reasonable price. I found a couple of places on the Internet that sell aftermarket bumper covers for decent prices, but I noticed that the pics show that there are no provisions for fog lights. Does anyone know where I can locate a front bumper cover that has the holes for the fog lights? Thanks in advance.

Don't buy aftermarket parts. They never fit correctly.
