I get ready for work.

I open the garage and suddenly I hear a loud *SCRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE*.

The garage is stuck. I go look in the front and the garage scraped my bumper

Last night, when I closed the garage, it was fine and I checked the clearance (plenty I remembered).

however, I had forgotten to put the ebrake on and put it in gear as I usually do I guess the car rolled forward somehow

although the flesh wound looks like bird crap, I dunno what to do,

1)leave it and see it everytime I wash the car?
2)get another bumper and repaint (I have someone who had the paint from my accident before
3)JDM front (not likely as that is too much)
4)Get another bumper and repaint and just store it in the garage knowing if something really happens, I stilll have a backup bumper

It all depends on how much that little scratch is going to bother you.

Personally, I'd leave it.

 

Did it remove paint or just make a scrape on top of the paint?? Because I once scraped my front bumper on my old Si on the garage edge and the scrape came off w/ a clay bar. But it looks to me like your garage removed paint

fug it, bumpas (esp the front) is a wear item

yshi - who still needs to go pick up his spare bumpa

 

garage moved paint

-aoibot, who is happy and sad

 

Leave it or put some touch up paint on that Biatch Like yoshi says, Its a wear item

 

touch up paint ...wax it buff it....it'll be hardly noticeable

 

Show stunna

 

JDM Front

 

i think it adds character. i would leave it.

 

 

if i were you....i would make it a dedicated track car!

shouldnt be that bad to be spot painted

 

If you get a jdm front cause of that little scratch... you have got way to much money to burn....

 

don't worry, I wouldn't do that

-aoib0t, who would love a JDM front but doesn't need one for now

 

yeah, get a jdm front, look at all that damage!! :D

just kidding..leave it till you screw it up some more.

 

it is a 2 inch scratch.....put an option2 sticker over it with your bling bling signal plate holder

 

yaya!

aoi, do wut EP did...a little rock spray on mugenmobile and he turned it into a dedicated track car

 

Awww man....Look at that damage! It's totally time for a new car Aoi! huhu

Cheese~

 

Here were some other suggestions from a co-worker of mine

a. Go park under a tree where there is a lot of pigeons and they'll match the color of the scratch on your bumper.
b. Put a sticker like My Son or Daugther is an honor student at Torrance Middle School
c. Purchase a bumper bra at the Auto Zone.
d. Go to Earl Scheib on Western Ave. and he'll paint anything at a very affordable price.
e. And finally buy touch up paint at Kragen for $ 11.60 a tube.

-aoib0t, who has acura touch up paint, and an ITR bra

 

beer wall...........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

You are worried about that? I should upload some close ups of my bumper

 

True... I rearended my buddys 94 Prelude VTEC in Branson, all it did was take a couple of chunks of paint out, left alot of black paint (mines PY), and I threw a couple of coats of Touch up, buffed the hell out of it, and I'm spent...... No ****!!!

Hell, I've even got a badass scratch on my rear bumper.....

BATTLE SCARS ownz joo!!!!

 

Buy a bigger license plate frame.

OR...just leave it because no one will see it unless you point it out.

 

Happened to my rear bumper but it was worse than yours. Just get some touch up paint and forget about it. Eh...

 

1) yes
2) a new bumper? you must be crazy
3) A JDM front end for a TINY *** scratch like that? you must be crazy
4) a back up bumper that's painted? you must be crazy
