My front bumper and lip got in a fight with another car and curb, it lost both fights. Instead of painting I was looking for a near perfect paint match by buying a stock 00-01 front end off of someone else's car, possibly someone upgrading to a JDM front ?? Let me know, I am willing to pay shipping if the price is right... Take a look at the damage I am located in California.

 

1) that'll buff out
2) touch-up paint is relativelu cheap

If you're looking for a "near perfect" paint match then taking the bumper from another car isnt going to do it, even if that car wasnt driven.

 

take it to a good body shop and get it fixed/painted

 

It will be a lot cheaper if you send it to get fixed if you lived in miami I could get that fixed and painted for you for about 150

 

Are there any gouges into the plastic? It's hard to tell from the pic but if not just get it resprayed and color matched. If you get a good shop no one would ever know. But if you decide to sell the bumper and lip let me know via PM.

 

Band aid

 

I'd rather just get it repainted

 

yea I would definately get it resprayed or leave it the way it is. replacing the entire front just for paint scratches? what if the same thing happens again? things are always bound to happen, so you just learn to deal with them. battlescars

messed up your new car already???

 

haha thanks alex... i think the scars have kind of grown on me, maybe ill just wait it out til I find one local.

 

hmmm anyone in the socal area ??

 

I was wondering if anyone has had their bumper sprayed and how successful it was to matching back up with the stock paint (hood, fender, door) ??

 

Right here...how much you looking for it?

 

Dude, take it to a body shop. They will probably charge 300-350 and it will match fine unless your car hasn't been taken care of paint wise. If thats the case nothing will ever match.

Why the hell would you buy a new front facia/lip?

 

Take it to the body shop and have it repainted, or just leave it as she is. I have this really bad scrap on the lip of my R and have left it for ages because it looks rather cool.
