Advice needed. Small bumper crack. (Pics)
So I guess someone cracked the front of my bumper while parked. Sucks because I just got this car a week ago. (2014 frs argento)
So I went to 2 different repair shops and they quoted me around 490-500 for this repair... Normally I would have probably taken it but the repair would take 3 days and I need this car to get to work. Daily driver.. so now I'm contemplating whether to order this bumper cover from the dealer or if it would be a better idea to just get an aftermarket bumper cover lip... I was thinking of just adding on the TRD bumper lip to cover this but the guy at the shop (Evasive motorsport, So Cal) told me it would take 3 months for the part to get here... any advice on some affordable bumper cover lips that won't take forever to get here.. Would really appreciate the input.. As you can see theres a small crack and a scratch.

Rent a car for three day's while yours is in the shop?
You could also simply clean it up as best as you can and apply some touchup paint. This might turn out well enough for you to just leave it and not worry or simply buy you the time for that TRD bumper lip to come in. If you are set on getting the TRD lip then phone around. There has to be more than one supplier in the country for that. At the end of the day your car will get scratched up over its life. I wouldn't get too stressed out over it. My own was barely three months old and I crunched the front right fang on a concrete parking barrier. Stripped paint to the black plastic bumper. Got some fresh touchup paint mixed up at a local auto shop and applied some layers of the base and pearl for my CWP and it literally looks 99% new. Life goes on.

You may consider having a PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) person take a look at it and see if they can coax it back into shape ..... then hit it with some touch up paint.
