Front bumper + High Curb - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So I am really sick and driving myself to the doctor then I hit the curb while parking.

Options?

You could sand it down and repaint it. Or more accurately, have it sanded down and repainted.

Or just knock off the big chunks with some sandpaper and leave it as a lesson not to hit curbs. I've got a small dent on my bumper like that.

not drive your car into a stationary and fixed structure?

Put a bandaid sticker over it.

That's what the cool kids do.

I have a very similar damage in the same exact spot. I think the sanding down and touch up paint is best option. But I'm beginning (trying to) to care less about the blemishes.

Got about the same. May sand and touch yo paint but will look rough. Maybe a lip is in order

I have one near the center of my bottom lip, it's just a small dent the size of a dime. It's one of those things where I know its there and keep thinking i should fix it, but i don't know if its worth it. Front bumpers are never going to stay perfect unless your car constantly stays parked. In some ways you can say it adds character.

That actually looks creepy as hell.

Anyway, just take it to a body shop and let them deal with it. And take it as a lesson to park far from curbs and kit kat bars.

Damn you setting off my trypophobia (whatever you do, don't google image search that term)

It looks like it also cracked the paint a bit, so the repair has to go back that far if you do get it repaired. Doesn't look like a cheap fix
