Hi Guys,

Haven't posted here in YEARS, but I thought I'd run my problem by you all. I love my Tein SS coilovers but lately I have been running into trouble with my car being too low. What you see in the pic before is a combo of running into parking lot bumper stops and a highway cone that flew at my car from underneath another car on the 170 in SoCal. It got lodged under my bumper at high speed and got stuck there for a few moments. LA has some polluted highways!

So I'm wondering if there is any hope to repair it to look at least somewhat decent. Otherwise it's a full on replace. Any recommendations for bodyshops near North Hollywood? Are there Acura dealerships with built-in bodyshops? Thanks

 

Holy Sh1t, your better off replacing. might be cheaper too

 

+1 on replacing.

 

lost cause

 

definitely not worth fixing.

 

try getting it from dealer painted. or from a junk yard and repaint.

 

looks like you need to replace it, since you got missing parts and pieces.

 

i don't think repairing that is good

 

definitely replace

 

little compound/polish - that'll buff right out!

 

Replace

 

 

I remember back when a little Zaino would fix most of my car surface issues. Looks like a new one for me then. Any recommendations on bodyshops in SoCal?

 

replacement will run somewhere between $500-$600 from a body shop, includes new bumper and painting the bumper.

 

Replacement is your only option. No body shop will fix that.

With the part & paint & labor $500-$600 is about right.

If you want to save some labor, take the bumper off & install the new painted one yourself.
Instructions are in the faq. It's not hard at all.

 

was gonna say to mold a tl lip to that , but that tear near the top may not let that work
