My car just got knicked today while it was parked at school and the owner is willing to pay for the damage (scratch), which is about $500. Should I just put that money towards a Greddy Turbo Kit or should I fix that scratch on my front bumper? It's about a 2 inch scratch; small, but pretty ugly. I'll post up the pics a lil later.

 

Who cares about a scratch, ide say save it for turbo.

 

just use touch up paint and save it torwards a turbo kit.

 

hell just get a cam and springs/retainers right now... F saving for a turbo kit...

You're car will get a lot faster NOW... granted you may need to change the cam again once you go turbo... but you could always switch back to stock.

 

Go get a bottle

 

Invest it. In 10 years you can buy a new car if you keep adding to it. Just touch up the front bumper.

 

500 bux will help u out a lot on ur turbo. go for the boost. i wish someone will hit me and give me some money.

 

screw fixing the scratch, it gives your car character, put it in stock and you will appreciate it in a couple of years

 

introduce your car to the bottle

Mike

 

yup!

 

save for turbo- hey, you said it yourself

 

Well, here are the pics I promised. This will give you guys a better idea of what the nasty scratch looks like..









Does something like this really cost about $500 to repair? I was thinking that if it was cheaper, I can just buy a turbo kit and save a little for the scratch.

Comments welcomed.

 

use the cash for something else..

 

damn your car is shiny.. I would have said turbo and ignore the scratch, but if the rest of your car is as good looking as the front end, I'd fix it.

To fix it properly, he would actually need to get a new OEM bumper, then add in the flex additives, labor for scuffing, materials, then for the new paint...It probably would cost around $500.
