car is damaged after 3 weeks of ownership
my car is a hit and run victim. yesterday i was parked on the street for an hour, i came back to my car and drove it home. i always inspect my car each time i come home for any damage, found that some asshole backed into the front of my car causing the license plate bracket to hit the front bumper. now my bumper has a huge marking of the license plate bracket and is denting in pretty bad.
this feeling really sucks, my previous car which was an RSX, was vandalized after 2 months of ownership.
i am now thinking of an aftermarket front bumper, which would u guys recommend? the other thing i'm scared of is, my car is platinum white pearl so it will be very hard to match the color. i know for sure because my RSX was premium white pearl, it was impossible to match. i even had 2 different shops paint it. my original plan was to get an APR lip for my oem bumper but i guess not anymore cause its damaged.
edit: i own a 2009 ap2, my profile says 2000 because theres no option to select 2009.

It sucks if any car is damaged especially after just a few weeks of ownership. But for some reason if its a new car an 09 especially it just seems alot worse to me. Maybe because i only payed 15k for my car and you paid 20k more for yours so it seems like a much greater loss to me. Im sorry that some one would do that to you. If your sure that you cant match the color file with your insurance and get the whole thing repainted.
Hope everything works out for you.

I suspect he paid quite a bit more than 20K more living in Canada as he does. How's a list price with freight and PDI of 52160 before tax grab you?
man this really sucks, i am planning on getting the amuse bumper and i really hope the body shop can match this color.
