so i just got picked up an 06 wdp/black tl

i removed the front plate to find this









could this be repaired by a body shop or do i need a new bumper?

edit: i'm gonna pick up some clips to fill in those holes soon so that's not a problem

It's repairable... It'll cost you something like 300 bucks...

for that price you might as well get a new one and keep that one for track days or something

i seriously think this looks better than the plate...not nticible unless you're looking straight at it...and yes i'm pretty pissed, but not only because of this but the dealer also put this ugly ass sticker on the back that i've been trying to take off with a hairdryer for days!

Is it like the raised plastic sticker? Slide a piece of fishing line under it after you heat it up.

When I bought my accord, I asked and the dealer not only took off the name but also the pin stripes.

I have a couple indentations in my front bumper from the license plate as well. Not nearly as bad as what the OP has to deal with, but it is still noticable if the light hits it at a certain angle. WTF were the last owners doing when they hit what they hit!? PAY ATTENTION!!

it's not that easy . i've gotten the lettering part off so it's not that noticeable but i'm gonna get some goo gone next weekend which should take care of it

NedShneebly

that'll do it. WD-40 usually does the job and is safe on paint, too.

Some Brake fluid and a rag. Barely touch it with this and its off in a sec. DO NOT RUB INTO THE CLEAR COAT!

Are you on crack??? Brake fluid is one of the most caustic agents you could put on paint. It eats clear coat IMMEDIATELY.


WD-40 and gasoline are both safe to use WITH A MICROFIBER CLOTH. Rub ever so gently and be sure to clean well and wax afterward.

E-gad, Man! Brake fluid?! That's how you leave a nice message in someones hood.
