Default Boo Boo

I am heartbroken. In the last week or so my 2005 X-Fire Roadstar has gotten 2 boo boo's in the parking garage. Although they make us park too close together it is my fault; I was driving the car both times that I 1) scraped the bumper against wood padding the concrete and 2) scraped the same bumper against a metal pole. The bumper is not dented; instead there are scrapes where the shine is rubbed off. Also shallow gouges. Anythoughts for fixing appreciated. Thanks. Mike DiLauro

What color is it?

If there are gouges into the bumper, a new cover will more than likely be required. Blend that up to the rest of the car, if necessary, and you are set.

Keep in mind, if you can find one, the SRT front bumper cover is cheaper than the limited one...

I don't think I would fix it until you learn to get out of the parking garage without hitting anything...

seriously, if there are gouges, it will need body work at best, then painted, or a new cover. A good bodyshop can fix them. I have had one fixed. Can't tell it... But, man, you have quit hitting things...lol..
