Hi folks - today I clipped the car next to where mine was (diagonal parking). I was leaving, got distracted, the wheel slipped. I didn't account for the trailer hitch hanging 1 foot out of the SUV next to me. The hitch ripped through the bumper, mangled the RF fender. An AMAZING amount of damage was done. My question - do I need a Turbo bumper/spoiler (I have a turbo). My gut feeling is the answer is "Yes". I'm not worried about the fog lights, but my guess is the turbo cooler requires openings, etc.

Think I would find a turbo with a blown engine and buy it for parts? The painting I would have to have done, but is replacing the fender and bumper difficult? So many questions - such a nice car damaged in a second...

Thanks - Don 854T
