You park your Z close to the store and other cars??

 

I park in a parking garage and it scares the **** out of me everytime I enter/exit. Oi.

 

I'm pretty sure the snow tires can come off now...

Try to fix it yourself with the methods mentioned above. If it doesn't look suitable, take it to a shop...

 

I guess scrapping the front bottom is like inevitable espeically on higher driveways.

 

Rims are fine, just need to be cleaned up a bit


yup, they're blizzak's, coming off in a week or so, shopping for a nice set of wheels + tires


lol fudge u

 

Might as well get the whole bumper painted with all those rock dings.

 

that's just from 2 weeks of highway driving, not worth getting the whole bumper painted every 2 weeks

 

2 weeks!!! ouch

 

i had the same place of my car scratch up.... i didnt hit a curb tho...

I used the touchup paint and bought some clearcoat and unless u bend over and look you cant tell the difference =P

 

Good grief! I did EXACTLY the same thing as you! Same damage. Clipped the edge of a high curb on the passenger side. Just sickening!! I fixed it myself. Bondo glazing putty (two part) filling the big scratches, high build surfacer primer (multiple coats until all the scratches disappeared) sanding with several grades of wet/dry paper, and finally, OEM SS touch-up painted thinned with lacquer thinner and sprayed with an airbrush. After polishing, the wound is healed. You can do it.

 

Any pics? Would love to see the work!

 

I'll try to get a picture posted tomorrow

 

Thanks for the drawing. I was curious how you crash a car into a curb.

 

ouch, hope things turn out good for you

 

bondo glazing putty (two part) - what brand, how much, what specific type
high build surface primer - what brand, how much
several grades wet/dry sandpaper - what grit/grades
oem touch-up paint - where'd you get it from?

instructions and pics?

 

**update: i just got rear ended by a chick in a flipping civic, some people don't ever change their brakes and don't know how to stop in traffic, now i got the front and rear bumper to work on, i'll let the insurance company handle this mess

 

OMG, this just hasn't been your week.

 

+1. DIY'er will most likely have a bad paint match. If you're a perfectionist, it won't look appealing to you.

 

Wow two people who have a hard time avoiding stationary objects.

 

Too bad that you are not considering a front lip, a Nismo front lip would cover that scratch entirely.
