Just kidding.


Had a lady ram into the back of my car sitting in a Chick-Fil-A drive through, going to get estimates today. The paint all along the number is spider-webbed and it's kind of sitting out from the body panels now, and there's also a ridge when you open the trunk where it creased the bumper. Will a body shop repair this since its bent plastic or what? I've never had anything done like this

Just replace the bumper, get it painted...done!

Don't forget that the bumper core/foam/plastic is probably smushed and will need to be replaced as well.

Got a couple estimates from $400-$750, just repainting . Going to fix the spot on my trunk that has had a big scratch on it while I'm at it , trying to decide whether or not to keep all the emblems. Maybe just the center Acura logo ?

Definitely de-badge and keep just the caliper. They'll heat the bumper before they spray it. No need to replace the whole bumper for clearcoat damage on a ten year old car. Like insurance prices aren't stupidly inflated as it is.

new bumper and paint is going to be $500-$600 with lifetime paint warranty.
