I was pulling out of a street today and someone who was in their phone and not using a blinker pulled into the road I was on as I was pulling out. Now this person cut across the Main Street from another road aswell. I hit them and damaged my bumper. I did not get a ticket and I am not sure what to do. So if anyone knows please help. Also I need to know where to find a plastic bumper cap for the left side of my bumper does anyone know A website?

ummm.... id just leave it. its not gonna affect your driveability of the jeep and from the looks of it, it didnt just break the plastic it also bent your bumper... so a new corner piece prolly won't mount back up right anyway.

as far as a new bumper or plastic corner.... Where else would you think you can find one??? ebay, local dealership (cha-ching, not really my first choice). any major auto parts website... Not sure of any? just google jeep cherokee bumper and shop around... or go to a local parts yard and look for one

teamcherokee.com has replacement front bumpers in both black or chrome. The chrome is like $90 I think and the black is $80ish maybe. I think they have the plastic corner peices too.

Check rockauto.com, I cant quote their bumper prices but IIRC the prices are quite cheap. Or you could just order yourself a kick *** after market unit. Just sayin

Exactly, sounds like the person that made you screw it up owes you new, try that route first before you worry about it.
