Default Snow in Vegas = Damage to Mustang **Updated Pics**

***UPDATED WITH BEFORE AND AFTER PICS***

So it snowed in Vegas today...no kidding! Look at the pic below:


BEFORE...and then on my way back from the store Mr. Big Rock jumped up out of nowhere and jacked up my front bumper!


AFTER...and then it was fixed!!!


Here's my question...is this worth fixing? Has anyone encountered similar damage to their custom bumpers before and paid to get them repaired? How much were the repairs? Any advice is much appreciated!

I would get some estimates from local body shops and weigh that against the cost of just ordering a new front bumper.

Pascal can tell you but urethane is very easy to fix and the front bumper we use is actually easy to blend with the repaint after the fix! See what the body shop tells you and hopefully it wont cost much (it shouldn't but cant give estimate). Sorry to hear that bro and I feel the pain.

Man thats a bummer bro, but it could've been much worst 2 b honest. On the bright side it doesn't look like you would have any frame damage with that minor kink.

Your car actually looks pretty sexy in the snow. Anyone else agree? Damn dude that sucks but you're car still looks really good. I'm pretty sure the costs should be less then a new one however I'd still rather get a new one

Snicksrolos, your car= sex in the snow but that second picture really makes me wanna cry. You have a way better attitude about this whole situation than I would man.
Im thinking either repair it or get that other bumper you've been eying. Technically though you could try out your idea to make the bumper less low now. Let me know man.

I got some pics too but my stang doesnt look as cool in the snow

Dude, that might be snow FALLING, but in Vegas I'm sure your roads were only wet. So don't blame it on snow. As long as your surface temps haven't dipped below freezing (and that takes a number of sub-freezing days to do) your roads were simply wet. Face it, you were hot doggin' and lost it... Mr. Big Rock was simply minding his own business.

As far as the damage, sorry to hear that. From the pics it shouldn't be too bad a repair job especially since it's all cosmetic. Otherwise, go for totally new.
