Curb Rash Replacement Alternative
 

Well, after pulling in the parking garage in the one spot that was open, this happened. http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/...s7e676e29.jpeg

So i thought, hmmm $500 to replace a bumper... gotta be something easier. So here we go. First I taped up the car.

Then, using the miracle of plastidip

I painted the whole area

After that i got a front lip to cover the bottom edges
and here is the final product. Pretty happy with it!

All in all the whole thing costed about 5 hours and $250

I just scratched my bumper in the exact same spot! I may have to do this. Thanks for posting! Btw, where did you get your front lip at less than $250. I can't seem to find one under $300. Again, awesome work!

Thank you! I just got one off ebay its plastic but super easy to replace since its basically curb fodder. the fit was good and it looks good after some polishing. if you do go that way make sure to get more self tapping screws. they only give you like 4 and i think i ended up using atleast 14 to make sure it doesnt vibrate or move around.

not bad...

Looks good with the lip on. Without the lip, I would probably opt to just fix the paint. The bottom line of the BRZ front bumper looks too good to just cover up
