I just got my 2018 WRX, I started parking far away because I'm scared of shit like this happening.

The thing is that there was plenty of room. It's a huge parking lot so the fact they did this is mind boggling.

Man, that's super annoying. Some people in parking lots are just straight up stupid.

I suggest looking into a dashcam with a parking mode? My brother was looking into getting for me for the new WRX and he was telling me there are ones when it detects motion in front of the car, it turns on and starts recoding.

Mine is wired to always be on with a regulator. When it sense I’m parked it films in half the frame rate.

Right around $400-500 is my guess.

What about the touch up paint? I had huge scratches and scrapes on my car, and I painted over it with the brush. Looks pretty good to me now. The paint cost about $15 on Subispeed.

Not if you opted for a wrx bumper. But there are aftermarket fog light bezels you can install

I would take off the front bumper (not that hard to do, especially if you have ramps), and inspect the area first.

Alternatively, you could always look into getting a carbon fiber bumper or just #partout =P

Similar thing happened to my wife's IS200t, the problem is with all the complicated curves and angles its cheaper to get a new bumper cover and paint it than sink the hours into body working the damaged bumper cover. Hers was $1100 ($450 was the unpainted bumper) Sure would be nice if people did the honorable thing and took responsibility for their mistakes.
