Front bumper damage

Daas · 03-21-2018, 09:45 PM

Was driving on a highway and a piece of tire or rubber flew right at my car. Nothing major, but the bottom left side of the bumper suffered some damage. My car is only 2 months old

. I polished most of it out, but what remains won't buff out.

Option 1 - Get the damaged portion repaired/painted (mineral white). Probably looking at $600 at a decent shop.

Option 2 - Get a spoiler that will cover the lower bumper area. Other than the OEM splitters, will any spoilers hide this damage? See image below...

RKP front lip and 3D Design will cover it up. Vorsteiner lip "might" cover it but not sure.

Thank you for the suggestions.

It doesn't look like those will cover it. The only thing that will cover it, are the splitters.

Option 3. Get it fixed?

If it was an airborne object that hit you, it is covered by your comprehensive coverage with no penalty/rate increase.
