Just got my TSX, Came out of the driveway and nailed the curb because of STEEP DIP
I just got my tsx like 2 weeks ago and I take extra ordinary precautions to protect my car like park far away from other cars and what not. Well today I was getting out of my narrow driveway and on the way out i turned into the street and my front bumper nailed the sidwalk curb because my tire came out at the wrong angle and it went on top of the curb. and since the curb is so steep, when the front end rolled off the curb the bottom right edge of the front bumper hit the curb.
The damage is pretty unnoticable until u walk up to it and really look at it, because it did take like around 6x6 inch area of paint with it too. I'm thinking of replacing the bumper, because I was going to change it into a acura lip spoiler anyways, doesn't that just replace the entire bumper and it should be fine? I wanted to find out if that method will work and if any of you have any other suggestions for my ruined beauty.![Frown](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Thanks

Should I replace the bumper ? if so how much does it cost for a full bumper replacement? I also have a question about the front underbody spoiler? how does that work, i thought it replaces the front bumper but after looking around online it seems like its an extension of the front bumper, can someoene clarify for me? THANKS
