Question
SUP you guys!! Hey I have a 01CLS and I am in need of some serious help. I need a front bumper for my car because it was towed and the tow truck driver isnt taking the blame!!!! Help I hate this stinking hole in my front bumper.
Also does anyone have some tips on using the touch up paint because i de-badged my trunk and it looks like the glue from the letter ate into the paint.
See the hole!!

It's kinda tough to see the hole. But if it's small maybe it can be repaired. But it may be cheaper to just buy a new one. When you de-badged, did you polish the trunk lid. Maybe if you compound it, it make make the difference less noticable. I don't think touch up paint will really help. It will not look right. Your best bet is to try to get someone to paint it.
Post a better pic of the hole.

The hole is to the right of the fog light u can kinda see it there a lil bit! I know i will have to buy a new one so i might start looking for it
I hate driving it like when its clean especially.. I figure when i take off the acura letters accross the middle I will have to have th whole thing redone anyway!! I was hoping touchup would help though!!

I know what you're talking about on the paint/badging I think (almost looks kinda bubbly???)... How long has it been since you debadged? Has it sat out in the sun much? I have noticed it when removing emblems before but I've also seen it fix itself after it's been awhile. Try having someone who knows what they are doing compound and maching polish that area. If nothing else, that might improve it.
