Got Hit, Didn't leave a Note!
I just got hit in my parking lot and they didn't leave a note! Our security is checking the security cameras right now. I hope we can catch em! If not, how much would it cost to repaint a rear bumper. It's not dented--just looks like someone drive perpendicular to me and took some paint off. I'm mad!

That sucks man. I know the feeling; I got scratched up in the parking lot of Ruth's Chris in Irvine. You're looking at an avg $500-600 to repaint the entire bumper.
Got pix?

If we can bring up his/her license plate number from the video, I'd love to give them the phone call. Could this be an excuse to buy a new bumper?

Oh Man
At work. That sucks. Most likely a co-worker then.
By looking at it, is it possible they just didn't know. I ask because about 2 years ago I scrapped a car, didn't even know until the side miror snapped up against the passenger window.

A 12 inch deep scratch. Did somebody stab your car with a sword?

mmmmmm....
That sucks!!~ I suggest that you should just fix the bumper rather than getting the oem kit to cover it up. You can always get the kit some other time. The OEM kit doesn't cost that much.

carbajal, I haven't fixed it yet, but Tustin Acura Dealer quoted me $180. Give them a try. I'm probably gonna just do the repaint myself, touch paint + sand paper = bye bye scratch

I'll go there tomorrow. The local paint shop that did my spoiler quoted me $568. $180 is better! However, I think the EuroR body kit would cover it up...doesn't it come up pretty high in the back? Where can I see a good rear shot of that? And, where can I get one?

Could I get the OEM front end, side skirts and just the Euro R back end? Would that look ok? I like the entire Euro R but not the front. I looked up Euro R kits with no fog lights and they little a little silly IMO. I'd get the OEM but it doesn't cover my scratch. Opinions?
