Car got hit!

Does anyone know if I can get a replacement part on the back of a 1999 Camaro. Mine got hit in the rear-left taillight (shattered) and crushed the r/left quarter panel (by the taillight) and back part (that says Camaro) and pushed it in two inches. I will get my car picks soon when I get my camera back. I'd give the hit a 2.5/10 but still will be costly for repaint, taillight, and that camaro part. ------------------Yellow is damage, and green is the part I want.

yeah you could get away with a black one. save you money if someone already painted it that color. ebay or forum for sale adds

Green part is easily found- they go on ebay all the time as well as forums too...as far as the yellow, thats going to be harder. The rear fenders aren't an easy swap out procedure on the 4th gens-

Photos.

It actually looks better in picture. When I got it towed once, the lame towtruck guy killed the bottom of my front bumper and my mom just yesterday nailed the top and my grill. Its not my week.............................msnusers.com/1999camaross

Turned out the waste management trash truck hit my car and now I have to prove it to them that they were the only one who could have inflicted that specific damage.

that's why you call the police immediately, and tell the driver immediately you saw it

My car is screwed.

Finally talked to them last week and they're not taking liability. I already took the bad grill off and my bumper looks like crap with the only nice thing about it is a new license plate. So I will paint it myself, I dont have funds to have a paint shop do it. Does anyone have a recommended brand of choice for spray cans? And how to limit orange peel, like when should I wet sand if I could?

I must, my car is in worse condition than most junkyard cars. Well, most likely it'll be $300-$400 to get my bumper painted right?
