so i, along with others are faced with a choice thanks to the good ole bumper flaw. im debating on what to do...i live in NC and front tags arent required. my options are:

paint pen
re-place/re-paint
front tag

what would YOU do?

i was WANTING to put the A-Spec Front Under Spoiler on but, id still have this eye sore plus, it wont cover up the scuff marks.

 

Try the pen before you go and replace/paint the bumper. Sometimes just putting a little paint in the area can make a HUGE difference with how it looks. Good luck.

 

i thought that too...the only thing is its actually raised and not a gash...it would be different if it were a gash....hmm not sure though. thanks for the input!

 

bondo and sand it down and use touch up paint ...maybe

 

I actually have the same problem with my front bumper, but all over it because well my aunt hit basically everything when she had the car and so now I have to fix it all.

apec it......it's time to do it man

 

A-spec won't cover it up.

 

I say try the pen if it doesn't work go to a body shop and see what they say.

 

looks like $100 at a body shop should cover the costs...

 

i was thinking that but wouldnt they have to blend the entire front bumper....?

 

Yes they would and then they would have to clearcoat it to blend it, so that would run an extra 200$

 

exactly, the route i was trying to avoid...hmm

 

I just got that done and its not hard at all, just take it to the body shop and pay about 200 bux and get the entire bumper repainted. They can't just spot pain or else you will notice the diffrecne in paint zones and that will look bad so they need to go further beyond and color blend. Dont replace the bumper unless ur going RJ.

 

before and after pics. i think it turned out great!
