i just backed into my dads car doing the same thing... couldnt see it, kitty corner to me, and yea im a dumbass. anyways i smashed in my tail lights, my back bumper and the tail light support and that all was like $1800, but i was looking at my estimate and for the bumper to be painted its about $350. my car is arctic white as well.

and no it wasnt the z06... thank god.
