Have fun getting it to match. Welcome to the mismatch Flame Red paint club.
I know... I found out a while back pullling off trim peices.. the paint doesnt like to stay put.

Might be a good time to get a roll pan - if you're into that look
And I actually was considering a roll pan bumper for a while. Only thing is theres no place to step, and theres less preotection.

Or maybe a roll pan is a good plan? I can then make the fender to the roll pan seamless... since I have to bondo whatever wont come out anyway

A good metal shrinking hammer, and a dolly block, and a boat load of patients... and you can bump that dent out, like it was never there.

just curious, was your bro driving like a dumbass? by that, I mean, was he trying to show off? that seems like a significant dent for a parking lot accident. if so, I'd let inscurance take care of it just to teach him a lesson.

Good thing we have a nice dolly set. Looks like tonight Im gonna see what I can do. I just noticed though theres actually a tear right in the middle of the dent where the bumper actually went through... S'gonna be fun..

yeah, he may have came in a bit fast (into the next parking space) and been messing around, but nonetheleass it was an accident. He feels awful and is gonna pay for it, and I dont want to have his insurance be **** for years. Still I was yelling loud enough people across the state might have heard me, Never been so pissed in my life.

Well, he def deserved the yelling at, but you're a cool bro for not filing a claim on 'em. Insurance is such a **** for the beginning teenage male driving a vehicle with more than 4 cylinders.

Gotta say I'd likely try to hammer out the dent, sand n paint, and buy junkyard bumper and upgrade tail lights, like mentioned. Plus, you can make 'em buy you some new headlights to match ur new taillights, for the hassle of it all. cough *third brake light* cough too.
