Default Can opened my bed :(

Dumb *** roommate filled the parking spots at our house and left my with a tiny spot to park. Long story short I was running late to work and left in a hurry and his midevil mailbox destroyed the right side of my truck, she only has 1500 miles . So since I'm gonna be payin out of pocket I'm thinkin about doing raptor bedsides, does any body know a reputable company or a price I may be looking at

Well at least you know how it happened. Instead of a dickless wonder hitting you and driving off. It can be fixed. Still sucks though, i know.

I think Raptor bed would look ridiculous on stock F150. Looks are subjective though. As for deals, good luck and friggin sucks what happened!

Dude...I feel your pain. I did the same thing once, but instead of a mailbox, I ran over my dad's Benzer with a 2500 Diesel Ram. It was pitch black and pouring rain. He parked in a spot he had never parked in before. I was in a rush and instead of looking, I relied on muscle memory and WHAM! Remember...it's only metal and can be fixed. No one was hurt. It still sucks though!

Ouch man. Theres 2 different companies that make good fiberglass raptor bedsides and front flares.. besides the fact that it wont look good without the complete set all the way around, you are going to spend a ton of cash doing the raptor swap and body work when the cost of just repairing your truck would be 25% of that.

You can not just paint chrome. If the bumpers are chrome.

Paint will not stick to chrome. You either have to etch the chrome with a chemical or sand it until it's rough.
