Today I went to get the Tahoe detailed. She was looking good too. On my way home is when it went down hill.

I was pulling up to a red light. The truck in front of me was a NNBS Silverado. The next thing I know his truck was in reverse and coming at me. His hitch smashed into my bumper causing little damage to him. He put a pretty good dent. When I asked him what he was doing he told me had put it in park and just put in reverse when the light turned green.

Now I have a terrible looking bumper, but I can get the Z71 bumper instead now. So how do I go about getting it instead of what I currently have?

What an idiot!!! Only in California, people here can not drive for sure.

I hope you got his insurance info in order for him to pay for your damages.

And thats a perk of being lifted:). Love how the ugly ass semi new style plate is still in better shape then the bumper lol. Y should get a grille guard and the s71 bumper or an offroad bumper or cattle guard

I bought my Z bumpers off ebay pre painted. Worked out awesome. Make sure you get the black z71 LTZ front valance! Which means you'll need fog lights too, same plug tho no wiring necessary.

So I went to the body shop today to get an estimate do the damages. A little over $1k worth of repairs. I asked about the paintable bumper and it was the same cost as the chrome. The only catch was I would have to pay for the painting. He couldn't find the Z71 valance either. I gave him the part number but for some reason he didn't have it in his system. So I guess I will just order it from Rock Auto.
