I went to TN for my anniversary and I drove my car right over a curb. I cried for I know an hour. My husband says that they not only have to sand it and paint it but they have to repaint the whole bumper. Any suggestions on what I should do? I am bummed out.

little consolation but if the plastic is not broken a good paint job should only run 300 ish...

My husband was thinking more along 500 ish.

yup,500ish

If you can't see the damage without crawling under the car...............I'd do exactly nuthin'.

you can see it unfortunately, pretty bad too. I think that I am going to have to eat money on this one.

I get frequent flyer credit at my boyshop but still it should not be that much.

I'm not gonna touch that one.
Sorry about your mishap Jessy.

LOL! Me neither...Oh what that hell...

About five bills and change ought to cover it.

I would just wait till i get another one and have another round with that good Tennessee whisky in the mean time. :drink:


It's all good!

Cheers!

Yea it sucks....I get sick every time i look at it.

Sorry to hear that Jessy. What happened to you is my biggest fear. The parking curbs around here are waaaayyyy too tall in my opinion (or the opinion of my front fascia). I still laugh when I come out of the store and see my car sitting 4 feet away from the curb, like "I'm watching you".

I usually do that but i was talking to my husband and took her right over it. However I didnt think that i did as much as their is done to my car because I didnt hear it come off the curb. Oh well things happen and you go on.

Yeap $500 sounds right...some evil bastard in a evil MB ML420 put a 6 inch scrape in my rear bumper. My body shop told me he can fix it for $250.

Jessy, I feel you pain. Some nut ran over some metal trash in the road and threw it onto the front bumber of my AU-SOME ride. There's about 2 scratches, 5 gashes and 1 big nick in the paint. A body shop said they will bondo it, sand it and paint it for $150. But that is a half off discount because my cousin sends business from his Ford dealership to this guy almost weekly. So, $300 ish is about right.

Yup, I had an encounter with some road trash from an earlier accident this morning. Messed the right side of my front bumper up pretty damn good. There goes friday.

sucks man...2 weeks after i ran the curb I backed into my husbands truck. It was a bad day. I am not a bad driver it just seems like it now. When I hit the truck it popped my bumper off and dented the bumper. I got the dent out and put the bumper back on but it's gonna need a paint job....it sucks

All these new cars you have to watch the front end like a hawk. Beware those cement bumper at the top of a parking space

That's why I'll never lower mine; this place is full of speed bumps.
