Noticed it when I got home, someone must have hit it while I was parked.
Awesome right?
It's not super noticeable, but I want it fixed ASAP.

The bottom bumper shouldn't be too hard, it just needs buffed/sanded/repainted.

But near the headlight is a bit harder..it's dented in a bit, along with the paint coming off.
I think I may be able to go in the trunk area, and pull back carpeting, etc, and push it back out with a hammer? I'm not sure though...
So please, if there is a way I can fix it myself.....I'm all for it.
I have no idea where to start, but I'm willing to learn.

Also, as far as getting touch up paint. Should I go with a 12oz can of Primer, Paint, and Clearcoat? or a 16oz?

Oh my god! I can't believe people these days...who would do that!? Sorry to hear about this man, hope things work out for you.

I wouldn`t try to fix it myself...take it to a body shop and get it fixed right...

kput

i don't have the money for that, lol.
They'll probably want about 400 bucks to just fix that top portion, knowing the places around here.

I think it'd be a good starting point/learning experience for me.

I wouldn't try to fix it myself unless I was a qualified body man (which I'm not). It'll look like azz...

Check-in with pascal. He can give you a rough estimate.

Don't you have insurance? You have a nice late model car. report it to the insurance company and let them handle having it fixed professionally.

I've got a $1000 deductible on my insurance, so it doesn't really help.=/

I have $500 deductible on my SUV. It was less than 2 years old when I had to have the rear bumper replaced. The estimates were just under $500. Oh well. Look at it this way; you've saved $XX every month on your insurance with that $1000 deductible you have.

kput

Yeah,
not to mention if I pull out a claim to get it fixed,
there goes my no claim discount.

Right now, I'm 18, on my own policy, have a 35+mph speeding ticket on it, and have full coverage.
I need all the discounts I can get.

I don't think your going to be able to get to that to fix it. The headlight casing is back there and I bet it will make things really difficult. Good luck though, sorry that happened.
