Hit and run...

Ok well just as an update I know of someone who saw the accident. Someone apparently walked into the pharmacy on the corner of the street and asked whose red car was outside and said that he saw someone hit it and drive away. I gave the people at the pharmacy my name and number and they called the customer who saw it happen. Right now they're waiting on him to call back so they can give him my number...
I'm not gonna buy any parts just yet. I'm gonna see if theres any way this guy can be identified. I should NOT have to pay for this.
Also, the police basically said it's up to me to find the guy... awesome.

Are you a "do-it yourselver"??? Check out this website:

Lots of rennlisters from all model forums have excellent results with this company. I tried the spray can (Sage Brush Metallic) on my 2004 Honda Odyssey (rear hatch area); used the base coat in a spray can and the clear coat. Color match was perfect. Repainting your nose panel and spoiler would be very doable. Recommend a Porter Cable 7424XP random orbital buffer. If you can make the next Porsche Swap meet in 2010 (Hershey, PA) you may have lunch finding low cost parts. Good Luck.
PS. If your witness is able to identify the vehicle (license plate) that hit you, ask him for a statement (get certified) and go to small claims court.

well, i have to join the club. Same thing happened to me tonight in the parking lot where i work. It happened during a 45 minute window and i'm so pissed right now. It was a truck or SUV.
I need a fender, headlight cover, header panel and my bumpers all scratched up. No cameras or anything so i'm pretty much screwed.

Soooo I parked my car on the side of the road and came back an hour later to find this (see pic)... VERY pissed. The other guy left no note and just split. The damage looks worse in real life than in the pic. Does anyone have any ideas on the cost to repair this? Anyone experience something similar??

Armonius, all your panels apear repairable, maybe a headlight door, fender and header look definetly repairable. Good luck to both of you, this is why I park very far away from everyone. I had this happen to me once, and don't want it to happen again.
