Angry Hit and almost run Incident

Whats up guys been a while since I posted because I've been busy on my break catchin up with friends and what not. Anyways my dad calls me when I'm 3 22oz beers into dinner at Texas Road House from the mountains and says some douche in a F-350 hit my rear right bumper/quarter panel. He was at the gas station and one of the employees on a smoke break said that he should go talk to this guy about something which was hitting my truck. Anyways he got his info and I'm not sure what I should do now. I get to get the chip in the right rear that was starting to rust fixed which makes me happy but I'm not sure what to do about the bumper. My buddy is gonna be the one fixing it for me either through his work or on the weekends at the shop so then I wouldn't have to pay him as much but onto the bigger thing. Should I get a roll pan or just get another bumper? And if I do go with a roll pan should I reroute the exhaust to do side pipes out the passenger side or should I have Alex cut out half circles in the roll pan and do my exhaust kinda like the new Ram's are? Give me some ideas and let me know what you think. All I have to say is ****ing Fords!!!

Hey Bpark I could use that roll pan just figured I would throw it out there before User finds it. If Playmaker doesnt want it that is .

Playmaker, that sucks really bad dude, did you ever find the guy/ confront him on what he did?

btw i would for sure go with the bumper route.. if you had a 2x truck and it was lowered go with the rollpan but since you don't keep the bumper look

cheers

yeah it was actually my dad that comfronted him and stuff cuz he has the truck in the mountains for deer hunting. he said he's gonna try and get the most out of the adjuster that he can and then i'm just gonna find a good junk yard bumper and have my buddy spray it all black or green. hopefully this isn't the start of every years accidents in the dak section
