The Dent. Looks a lot lot worst than it was. I was doing about 5mph I just hit on a spot where there is nothing behind it and I just Clipped the fucking thing so it folded in. If I would have hit a foot over nothing would have happened.

After a little work from Aaron (4pumpedCL) He knocked out the big dent then clayed the area so at least it looks decent but the bumper isn't totally smooth. So i'm gonna end up buying a new bumper cover. But at least it doesn't look so bad anymore.

OUCH! Well like webtoker said, at least it was just the bumper. Looks like it didn't mess up the lights at all...

It might just be cheaper to just get a whole new bumper

Yeah I am gonna just get a whole new bumper. They want $250 for the bumper cover then $400 in labor to paint and install. But I can get the bumper cheaper just have them paint it and Aaron and I would put it on. My dad has a shop in the Bronx but that really doesn't help me in AZ.

Go to $1.75 cleaners that's where I have all my stuff done. About 10 Items per week. As far as the clay bar, I have some Silly putty or Play-doh.

Looks much better in the "after" pic. Polishing compound or even rubbing compound would probably do a good job removing a lot of those lighter scratches.

Yeah those are pretty deep though Stucco just rips it right up. I'm gonna just drive it around I'm only in Arizona for one more week. Then When I get back here beginning of July I'll have the bumper, 10 or 20% tint all around, and the springs done in the same day.

It'll be tricky finding a place that'll do 10 or 20% on the side windows since 35 is the limit but I bet you've got a hook-up some place.

I'm getting a loaner car from Scottsdale Acura on Thur since I'm getting some stuff done to mine. If they give me a red CL, I'm gonna ask for another cause I know what pain that car went through when you had it. j/k

We'll have to get another meet lined up when you get back in July

That before pic is scary looking. Nice job on the after shot. I know how you must have felt when it happened. Bummer.

Looks like someone punched it in the face.
At least you were able to semi-fix it. Good luck.

Damn man... that looked bad!! It looks a lot better in the after picture. Since it is just the bumper, it shouldn't be too bad to fix! :
