Default Front bumper scratch repair ideas?

Hi Guys,

Hope this is the right section for this. About a week after having my Z someone backed into my 03 Z and put a big scratch in with their trailer hitch.

Anyone have a suggestion on how I could fix this myself? Thanks!

any kind of fix will likely involve re-painting the whole bumper since these colors are hard to match. have insurance take care of it through a body shop

I already looked into that. Deductible is $750 and the repair costs are $500-$800 from 4 local body shops. I wanted to see if anyone had ideas before I dropped the cash. Thanks for the help.

Look into buying a new bumper from slidegood.com

You can get a NEW 03-05 bumper painted your color for $340+shipping

Best deal imo
