damn bro that sucks! If you have insurance, claim a hit and run...or since they left their number, call them and see what kind of insurance policy they have.
You basically have to call your insurance company and report the incident...then they'll come to you to see the car as it sits (damaged). Tehy'll get their estimater to see how much the damage is worth, then you can get your own repair quotes, and then they will come to an agreement on cost of damage and cash you out.

Have them just fix what was damaged. Just go through your insurance company. I wouldn't trust them that they will pay out of there pocket to fix it. I have been there and done that. Didn't work out well. Good luck.

Damn man, sorry to hear that. have you tried the number yet too make sure it was really the person that hit you? My ex had someone hit her and they left a fake number because people saw it happen.

Whatever you do, have records! Never trust anyone to take care of it without a police report and insurance claim.
I went through this once and the person who promised to fix a bumper conveniently forgot who I was or that they had been involved in an accident just a few days prior...

Its not bad at all.. Just the back bumper shattered and cracked down the side.. Im going to wait for someone to part out a black mustang and just take the bumper and put it on until i can get the whole car painted, I want to get an 03/04 cobra hood for it, new front bumper before i paint it.
