every time i pull into my spot, i pull up a little further, knowing that if i scrape the wall, an mtech bumper will be the replacement.

Placing my car into my parking spot today and misjudged the distance between my front driver side quarter and the goddamn pillar in my garage and this is what happened....

Is this something that a shop could just do a quick touch up on...or would it be more tedious? Just trying to get an idea on how much I'm going to need to shell out to make my car pretty again. Also, any recommendation on a good place to bring it to..preferably somewhere close to either Studio City or Hancock Park....thanks

The cheapest solution would be to buy a touch-up paint and DIY or if you are willing to spend about $100-150 you can have spot paint done. Do NOT paint the entire bumper, will make everyone thing you had a real accident.

I believe it is a huge safety risk to drive like this - you have to get an m-tech ASAP...

otherwise you're running a risk of

not getting the m-tech right away.

TFF Vlad!!

OP That can easily be fixed without repainting the whole bumper!

I know of a good shop out here in Thousand Oaks that could do it if you can't find anyone closer to you!

Good Luck and WRAP THE POST to prevent future embarrassment!
