HELP!!! My bumper got hit!

Sorry no pics rights now since I just got home.
But while parking i didnt realize how high the brick thing in the parking space
was and when i parked and came back to the car i noticed my right side went over it. It was high and it scratched the lower right side of the bumper.

The scratches are very deep that it looks like it penetrated through. I hope buffering it will be enough. Anyway i need some prices here guyz...

Its a very small section around 5 inches wide and 2 inches in height in the very lower part of the right side of the bumper.

How much would repainting and buffering that cost... If its too deep that it needs to be replaced how much would that cost?

umm... do you have a body kit? depending where the scratchs are you can cover it w/ the rear OEM kit... but that must be an extremely high wall!

I think you meant buffing (not buffering) but I'm not hating. If it did indeed go through the clear coat to your base coat or even worse, down to your primer, it can't be buffed. Generally if the scratch is white, it can usually be buffed, just dont burn through (buffing one spot too long, it will heat up and distort) to the paint if you're doing this yourself.
That sux, but good luck!

Hey guy...I feel your pain. I had a little garage accident with my TSX with similiar damage to the front fender panel. The only thing to do was to replace the entire piece. It cost me around $600.00 to have it replaced. Hope this helps. Oh...to put the icing on this cake, a few weeks later some guy hit me in the rear bumper and scratched it pretty bad. He was un-insured so it cost me around $700.00 to have the rear bumper replaced. Not fun!
