Gene, it could be worse you know... Like, waiting for nonexistant M-Tech kit from Quad_M or something...! hehehehe

Seems a lot of bad luck circulating the globe these days.....

That blows Gene! Sorry to hear about that.

As a temporary solution, you could try this too...

Driving North on the 101/405 connector. The idiot driver in front of me didn't swerve in time to dodge what looked to be a rear parcel shelf. So the civic kicks it up, straight into me. dodged most of it but it still got me on the lower driver side bumper. Heard it hit (felt like it hit me directly in kidney), anyway, here's the result





I've already put in a call to these guys:

http://www.amazingbumper.com/index.htm

I had to use them for my wife's car last month, pleased with their work, hopefully it'll work out alright for me as well. Damage doesn't seem to deep, just some good scrapes. Hopefully some rubbing compund and buff will do it. Not looking to upgrade to an M-tech kit so please don't say it
that suck`s man... i feel your pain... i cant really see how deep it is... but try some wax you`ll be surprized what it can do.. it wont hurt try it out.....

Gene,

Sorry to hear it brother. Glad your ok. As for the damage, it looks easily repairable. Good luck and keep us informed.

Gene, try some cleaner wax first , my wife scuffed her bumper and I got 90 % out with wax using a cloth then buffed the rest out with my orbital...........good excuse to get an orbital if you don't have one ..................
