Angry SOMEONE HIT MY SHINKA RX8, WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO? Good shops in AZ??

So here im parked at school for about 30 mins, i come out and it must have been a truck or suv that hit my front bumper, no one was around, and no note.. and to top it off i got a ticket!!! for parking in staff parking!! so they have cameras, but they werent pointing in my direction.. talk about bad luck.. anyways in order to fix it i was wondering if there is somewhere that i could get a stock shinka bumper for cheap, of if i need a color code, or if i just get a body kit, and if i get a body kit can they match my color? im in arizona so if anyone here knows a good place let me know.. thanks!!!

Dont worry about them getting the right color. Who ever does your repair will pull the color code from your door (all that info is there).

Dont get a body kit! You'll just end up having to fix it constantly for cracks...etc. IMHO get it repaired and leave your car clean looking. No need for a body kit unless you are going to show your car and it isnt your daily driver.

All kits will cost thousands if you want real and fitting.

No need for a body kit, but there is a want for a body kit by some people. like me.

What part of AZ are you in? I still have my stock front bumper from when I went to the MS kit. It's VR, but if you are willing to pick it up, I can let it go rather cheap. PM me.

Finishing touch in Fountain Hills has a good reputation. Several AZ members have visited their shop and recommend them.

If all they need to do is paint the bumper cover it should be around $300.
