I would get a Wings West Front Lip and it will hide most of that crack in your bumper.

Yeah, looks like the dent in the trunk could be popped out too. I always wonder what people do to their cars to make them like that. Like damnnn.

The worst is that they used Touch-Up paint to repair the dent in the paint. It is visible from MILES!! Rely ugly, im going to pop it out with a couple of others dents, like the one on the door, and another one on the other side i dont show which is barly visible.

Anyways. Is that crack repairable?

I went to a body shop. They estimated me 125$ for the trunk, door and on the other side, behind the dor dent, paintless dent removal.

And 175$ to repair the crack and paint it.

Thats all canadian dollars.

Its actually quite good no?

my bumper looks the same way
if you take off the bumper and fix it,
PLEASE TAKE PICS AND POST A DIY

i would do it myself, but the last time i took off my bumper, i scratched the hell out of my fender trying to put it back on.. i will definitely need another person to help me put it back on
i dont want to ask a friend to come help me and find out that i cant even do something to fix it myself
dont wanna waste some one else's time... im constantly wasting my own time, so no big deal there

try this method to see if the dent can be popped out... i suggest you test it out first in some inconspicuous space (front bumper! it's not "inconspicuous" but u're gonna replace it anyway) before doing the trunk because it might hurt the paint...

Oh, welcome!

Forget about replacing my front bumper. Way too expensive. I dont have the cash right now. I might try the trick on my door. Has anybody tried it before? What does it do to the paint?

Hey guys. I tried the trick. It didn't work as good as i thought it would. Maybe i didt heat it up enought. I still got some liquide left in the can. Ill try again later when its less cold.

Ill do a DIY worked though, didn't damage the paint!

well hey. I wasn't patient enough. I waited maybe 3-4 minuts with the heatgun, they recommanded 6-10 minuts with the hair drier... it was cold and windy, so i didn't smell any fumes or anything. And it did work a bit, but the crease was old... thats maybe why it didn't work. Iv heard that if its fresh, itll work very well.

The other drawback, the can is 10.00$ Canadian.. fking expensive.. lol. They asked if i was 18 year old when i purchased it.. i guess u gotta be 18 or older to get it, i am 19.. so its all good.

I have more pics. Ill make a DIY.
