Front bumper scrape
I just scraped the edge of my front bumper on a concrete pole. I've parked in this spot a thousand times and for some reason cut it too close this time... small spot, poles on both sides, etc. All of this to save me from door dings...
Anybody have any idea how much it would cost to get something like this fixed? I'm hoping I don't have to get the bumper cover replaced. Its a vertical line of scrapes about an inch wide at the edge of the front bumper. I'm pretty bummed about it...
Thanks

Here are two pics of the damage... I am considering the bra depending on how expensive this ends up being...

sorry to see that...You're probably looking at around $400 to get it repainted. A good bra will run you about 150-200 (I think). It sucks, but I'd just get it repainted.

I did the exact same thing, except I also clipped the front fender and rim!
Put a small dent into the fender as well. I misjudged the width of the fender completly. I just ended up fixing it myself, not too pretty, but passable for now. In my case I'm sure it would cost 1k+.
