Help! Sister ran into something with my car. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So my sister ran into something and my bumper has hairline cracks near the passenger headlight and just to the left of the scion emblem. We didn't think there would be a mark but I just washed my car and I see the hairline cracks. How much do you think it would be to repair? Also is there a cheaper or easier fix for this? Thanks for the help guys.

Better, and more cautious driving????

Naw, just messing! Seriously... I'm not sure as I'm not a body repair guy. I think most places would quote this for free if you wanted to get a serious estimate. Hope it doesn't run you much to correct! Good luck!

Oh, BTW... Is the actual bumper cracked? Or is this just paint? I have a very small dent that my dumbass put in my rear bumper... Paint is ok but to fix it correctly I'd probably have to replace the whole dang bumper which SUCKS.

If you are concerned about how much it will cost to fix, you can always try getting some touch up paint at somewhere like autozone to make them less visible until you can actually get it fixed. Chances are they won't have the exact color, and it wont look perfect, since the car is white it should be less noticable than the cracks.

It shouldn't matter how much it costs to repair. Your sister caused the damage, so she should pay for it.

I think the most important thing is for you to post pictures of your sister....

Hit your sister with the car, then repair it.

touch up paint for the car from the dealer is $12 it has a pin tip, type end that is made just for that. you might be able to get it polished out from a detailer.

I just put a pic up guys. It looks like this in 2 different areas. Is it really going to be $1500!?

I vote for this, and that you never let her near your keys again

Sue her and give her coal for Christmas.

Or kust go to Subaru and get the exact color (as long as it's not hot lava, then try toyota/scion)
