Jessa1200 · 01-30-2009, 01:25 PM

Okay so this morning it was like 430 Am and I ran out really quick and went to a gas station and yeah so totally did the ONE THING I was warned to be careful about... dont let the bumper hit the .... yeah well I did it and totally messed it up, kinda... not really bad till I hear the cost at a place...
I feel so stupid, I was trying to hurry and it was F'in early and I was tired and totally bumped it scuffing it up.

Anyone know a good body shop I can have check it out and quote and PLEASE don't say Caliber Collision b/c THEY SUCK...

anyone I am totally up for suggestions.

AeroS2000 · 01-30-2009, 02:03 PM

Jessa1200 · 01-30-2009, 02:05 PM

AeroS2000 · 01-30-2009, 02:08 PM

http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showuser=73400 PM him for the part. last time he had a few. $250 shipped i think.

Jessa1200 · 01-30-2009, 02:19 PM

okay so its not REALLY bad I guess I just dont like that I feel its all I see when I look at the car....

Jessa1200 · 01-30-2009, 02:20 PM

oh its hard to see but the pics of the grill area I am wondering if they came out b/c they dont look to be sitting flush with the bumper?

J'sS2K · 01-30-2009, 02:30 PM

it's doesn't look that bad. you can pull the grill back out and repaint.

I got rock chips all over my front end and some on the hood. I used to care but now i don't because it happens to all of us. don't feel bad!

Jessa1200 · 01-30-2009, 02:38 PM

I guess, I just hate it I cant even go 2 weeks with the car before I hit something... my other car was higher up and I didnt have a problem so I have to get use to parking differently...

well, idk, i guess i'll figure it out, cause I know if I have it repainted the silver's not going to match... so...

JDMzimbo · 01-30-2009, 02:42 PM

It should be a very easy reapair, its not as bad as it could be. I got my car reapired at boerne collision, and they did a pretty good job.

AeroS2000 · 01-30-2009, 03:03 PM

i dont see anything

turbosix · 01-30-2009, 03:13 PM

buy an oem lip and it will hide the scratches...

but the front of your is gonna be chipped and knicked up no matter what...

Jessa1200 · 01-30-2009, 03:26 PM

they run about 400.00?

bbcricketta · 01-31-2009, 09:45 AM

the damage does not look too bad. it is hard to keep the front pristine if you drive it.

TEGELER has gots to go!

gomarlins3 · 01-31-2009, 12:19 PM

I agree with the lip suggestion to hide the scrapes. As for the grill, you can move that back by yourself.

Jess dont feel bummed out at all you should see mine its horrible. The roads I drive on around here are really bad so I scrap the underside of my front bumper all the time. I dont like it either but until I learn all the spots to avoid then Ill buy a lip.

txs2knoah · 02-02-2009, 07:17 AM

For the price of fixing I can get you a front lip.

Dr. Jimbo · 02-02-2009, 11:48 AM

Oh, it's just a flesh wound.

Dmaye · 02-02-2009, 11:54 AM

a lip how be the cheap way out

makopolo · 02-02-2009, 01:29 PM

Dont worry about it too much, sooner or later that was going to get scratched. Now you dont have to worry about it. Just fix the grill

S2K Reborn · 02-02-2009, 01:36 PM

thats not bad at all. i live i lubbock tx, if anyone on here has ever been to lubbock, u know how crappy the roads are. my bumper looks like 10x worse than urs

flyingarmadillo · 02-02-2009, 01:51 PM

That's not bad, the first thing I hit was a skunk!

Jessa1200 · 02-02-2009, 08:09 PM

thanks guys, I guess I just wanted it to stay in really good condition, but what can you do...

and as for the Tegler thing its gone my tags are there now, I was too lazy to remove it..... hell i didnt even put the tags on I had someone else do that, I got enough crap to do then think about that stupid thing and removing it, seriously life's to crazy right now... especially this past weekend... buying used cars can have its pain in the a$$es...

txs2knoah · 02-02-2009, 09:43 PM

Sell the bumper and buy another.

I'm ordering a lip and new oem bumper. The one I have now is mint. Just want colored match, spa yeller

MutantCheese · 02-05-2009, 08:31 AM

I scraped my lower bumper lip in the first week of ownership leaving a friends house on a really steep incline. I bought the OEM lip and love it! It hides my booboo.

turbosix · 02-05-2009, 09:51 AM

are san antonio cops nazis about front plates? take that crap off...

MutantCheese · 02-05-2009, 09:55 AM

Isn't that a dealer plate?

my car hasnt had plates since may and i have yet to have a cop bother me about it.

MutantCheese · 02-05-2009, 10:01 AM

Ahh. No front plate needed here in New Orleans. It's the one thing that we have going for us since our roads suck arse.

It does take some getting used to. Consider that the S is lower, probably has a longer hood and that you're sitting almost at the rear wheels.

Depends on how good the shop is. Rio is even more difficult to match yet my body shop did an excellent job.

I'd suggest waiting til you get a better collection of rock chips before you repaint.

yeah I think I am just going to get an OEM lip, paint it and call it a day... idk...

Jessa1200 · 02-14-2009, 04:59 PM

okay so I bought the OEM lip but does anyone know whose good for paint jobs in San Antonio, TX/Houston Area... I maybe in Houston in a few weeks and know how long it takes roughly to get it back painted?

txs2knoah · 02-15-2009, 07:43 AM
