ouch. bumper repair and respray...min. $400. just had mine repaired (though on a VERY small area) and resprayed to blend.
are there actually gouges on the bumper or light scrapes/scratches?

the same thing happened to me on my 09 and i just left it alone because i knew that the the underspoiler kit will cover it. if you plan on painting it it will probably set you back about $350-$450 for a decent paint job.
Thanks for the replies....going to the dealership soon and get a quote.
One thing I'd like to ask.....there is another Acura dealer near me(not where I bought the car). Is it a good idea to bring it to the other dealer to get a quote, since I didn't buy it there?

just take it to a few body shops for quotes. the dealer will just take it to their body shop anyway (which may or may not be good, just depends). i would rather deal with the shop directly...but i'm really OCD anal. granted teh upside of having the dealer take care of it....,you'll get a loaner while your car is subletted to the body shop for the work.

I think I have met the woman of my dream!!
I am the most anal person you will ever meet 
OP....I would do as others have suggested, get the front skirt and that will cover the damage...if you look at my pics, that is what I have on my car and gives the front a nice aggressive stance. If you are going to pay a few hundred to repair, why not spend the money and enhance the look of teh car, unless you dislike the look of the front skirt.
