Don't Park In The Street - Hit & Run

So I'm walking out to my car at 7am to go to school, and I see fragments of my corner lights in the street. I walk up to the front to inspect it, and some jerkoff hit my car. Front bumper, right fender, and lights are smashed. They had to have been on the wrong side of the road for it to happen. I was parked in the street facing traffic.

Well, anyways. I guess look on the bright side, 97-99 front end conversion. I need Pebble Beige parts if anyone can help me.

Yeah, sucks. Insurance isn't covering it, I only have liability. Not quite what a 17 year old should have to spend all of his savings on. I was a week away from buying rims.

If I replace my bumper with a 97-99, do I need anything more than just the front bumper cover? or do I need the everything in the bumper assembly?

..I took 5-6 pics, hope to have them soon.

u need the bumper cover and the grill, you'll have to cut a 1 inch square on the inside of the lights...but you'll see it when you get there. You may also want the headlamps and change the corners...the 95/96 corners light up when u go to turn and the 97-99 don't...so u decide

Yeah I think I'll stay w/ the 95 corners, I do like them better. Chrome grill or painted grill, what do you think? Which one can you put aftermarket grills on (such as Trenz, mesh grills, etc).

I'm sorry to hear man. But you should change your topic to "Don't park your car anywhere - Hit & Run". I've had accidents with my car and both of them have been hit & runs while my car was parked. One time at a parking lot in front of CVS and another parked in front of a house. People seriously don't know how to drive.
