Default Time to rant- learn to drive!

stupid fool left a couple long noticeable scratches on my front bumper while he was backing up without looking back he claimed he was backing out of traffic while coming out of the school parking lot, but i "know" he purposely did it!!! well, not minding reading but still, it was pretty bad luck how it happened. I didn't even advance as he turned out to traffic and he had all that room. long story short, i let him go because it was raining and i didn't have neck pain....or WILL i??

option 1: repaint the front bumper again
option 2: sell as-is and buy aftermarket or ap2 bumper << so tempted
option 3: keep it and use money for other mods...

errr... for any cosmetic damage, i would typically ask the person to pay for it, even if it's not much.

he didn't have insurance and said it was his gf's car...i highly doubt it but all i could've done was get his license and and license plate. he had a babysit in the back that could possibly have a baby in it that need its milk. i was mad, still am. let's just see if i run into him at school again.

the one time i park in the parking lot, this happens =((

How bad are the scratches? Sometimes you can use a buffer to buff it out and
save you some money. If your S is a daily driver, it will get scratch again.
