My front bumper is dinged to the max
my front bumper has so many rock chips and scraps from stupid angled curbs where I live. Stupid manassas, ummm what can I do about all my dings, Should I just buy a new bumper? the dings and chips go as far up as the plastic vents on the bottom. What can the brother do? I want my bumper to look good again. how much is a new bumper with my abyss blue pearl paint on?

Getting a new bumper is definately an option. You might be able to get an unpainted bumper and have a body shop paint it to match your existing paint color. Price out a new bumper-then take it to a bodyshop for an estimate on smoothing out your existing bumper and repainting.

Also invest in paint protection film because if you don't you're just wasting your money on a temporary fix because in 3-5 years it will probably look as it is now or worse if you do a lot of highway driving and driving in general. I feel your pain about the rocks though, in the first 20 mins I owned my Tl I was a proud owner of a 2007 tl-s with a nice chip in my windshield.
oh and one more thing

I'm in Woodbridge and I was going to take mine in to a body shop to ask about them color matching my grille. It might be worth it to see how much would they charge to fix the dings from the stupid people that don't know how to open a damn door. *RANT* My point is it won't hurt to ask someone for an estimate.

Your specific color is easy to match. Brand new cars, Acura included don't all have exact matching bumpers, from the factory. As long as the color is acceptable, it's all good, a color mismatch obviously is not. Good high end shops paint match bumpers all day. Some may match better than OE form, like refinishing WDP for example.

I disagree... The difference will only be temporary so long as you maintained the body paint well. Second, the difference wouldnt really be noticable because the rest of the car takes nowhere near the beating that the front bumper does...
