I was driving home from work yesterday and what looked like a rolled up newspaper popped up behind the car in font of me. I had no place to go.. It hit the front of the car underneath the grill. It obviously wasn't a newpaper as it cut a hole in the nose cone material. Is there a putty like material that I can fill the hole with and then repaint that section??? Here are a couple pictures.

What do you think?

An epoxy filler might work.

I would have it repaired professionally...

Similar thing happened to me exactly 1 week after taking delivery...

Returning home from work, I was going through a constuction area on a 4 lane road at night. Very dark. I was set to pull into the left lane when BANG... a GD rock was kicked up by the car in front of me and moved it to the right side of my car. My baby hit that f#$cking rock on the lower front bumper. It caused a small dent and scratched the front aero lip.

Needless to say.. I was not in a very good mood that night. Took it to my Nissan dealer... and they fixed it up good as new - perfect job.

Get an estimate from a body shop first. They can repair it so that it is like new.


If this is your first time to repair cuts/dents in plastic, it will always be visible. I've seen posts here describing after-market add-ons that actually cover that lower portion below the grill opening.

yeah there is a carbon fiber(not sure if its real CF or not) that just goes over that bottom rolled section. looks pretty nice, its about 190$. not cheap of course, but might be worth it if you like it.

Where can I find one of these covers??? I think this might be a good fix as I think we need something tougher down there!!
