Default Scratch on side of bumper!!! OUCH

I was leaving my friends house, we had just waxed it and detailed it to perfection. I am backing out his drive way and looked forward at the dash, turned on the headlights, the lights did not come on...oh, it is just that I turned them down I realize as I turn them back up...

SCRATCH$%^%^&&&&*^$$##@@$$#$#@

A shout of profanity.

I had backed into his rock wall.

The rear passenger side of the bumper has a nice scratch about 6 inches long and two inches wide. Right on the back of the side of the rear facia. The lip that wraps around.

OK, any ideas what it is gonna cost??? This is my first scratch/damage in a year since I bought her.

Really bumbed out. Any words of encouragement will help.

No pic yet, no digital camera.

That sucks man. I'm guessing $300.00 touch up paint/labor, more if you have to replace the bumper. Its going to suck until it gets fixed but in another couple weeks it will be good as new.

To replace my rear bumper, pop out a dent in the metal near the bumper, paint, and labor it was 900 bucks at the place I went to.

I don't think it will need anything but sand paper and paint. I hope. But I have no choice other than to get several quotes or just replace it. If I have to replace it I am going aftermarket for sure. Maybe get a different front, back and side kit. We shall see...

Kind of hard to make a suggestion without any pics but let me suggest www.paintscratch.com
If it's not too bad it will buff right out.
Good luck!

Yeah. I am done with this damn car. One scratch is one too many. Time to upgrade to the 07 Cobra. I mean, there are soo many of them out there, availiabilty is so high I hear they are giving them away CHEAP!!! I talked to a dealer and he was begging me to take one of the many he will soon have availiable for under MSRP.

YEAH RIGHT
