Someone hit my baby :(

When I came back from classes I found this. How much will this cost to repaint? Will the Ti Grey touch up paint work?

Hard to tell by the picture, if the paint is scraped off or if that is white paint left on your car. If it is white paint get a clay bar and that will take most of it off off. I feel your pain!!!

Wow, serious? Maybe it is time for a bodykit. lol. I guess that is too much work for the touch up paint then.

if u get a bodykit... it will cost alot more than just 300-400 dollars. 800 or so to aquire a new bumper and 300-400 for painting and fittin that bumper. so all in all gettin a new front bumper unless through insurance will cost u at least 1000 dollars

It hurts but it is inevitable, people do not care what they do to your car. Someone dinged my passenger door and left me a nice paint chip down to the metal. Sorry to say it probably won't be the last time.
