So I'm new to the whole powerful RWD car and I come from an underpowered FWD car (civic). Not really knowing its limits and what not, I took a turn a little fast and gassed it to much I'm assuming. Oversteered, and then I took my foot off the gas because I panicked. Looking back I should have just stayed on the gas and countersteereed but lesson learned. Went right up over a curb. LUCKILY nothing serious happened, I just had to get an alignment. As far as body damage, there's a few stress fractures on the front bumper as seen below. I'm sort of wondering what you guys think I should do about this. I know it's not a big deal, but my baby is, well was in perfect condition so my OCD is telling me to get this fixed. Getting an entire new bumper seems a little much, so I'm thinking about getting it painted and blended? Has anyone had this done? How much does it roughly cost? Hopefully the spider marks will be hidden under the paint. I don't know, let me know your opinion please and thanks.

Wait until you get familiar with the car and quit doing things like that before you get it fixed.

The lip wouldn't cover that part. As far as painting though.... would that cover it all up?
