well i juss got back from class and i noticed that some little bitch decided to take my black chrome honda logos... well they managed to put a deep gouge in my front bumper about an inch and a half long. so my question is would it be hard to match the spa yellow pearl if i were just to get the holes filled? i really dont want to have to deal with this crap so i think i'd rather have a logoless car. has anyone done this???

Damn! Sorry to hear about that. I have been told that the yellow is very hard to match and some shops here in Austin don't even want to attempt it unless they do a full repaint. I guess you will just need to check with some local shops and see what they have to say.

Good luck,

Kirk

You must go to Mount San Antonio College (MSAC). If you were at the University of La Verne of Clairmont Colleges this wouldn't happen....switch schools.

you can use touch up paint to paint the filling. This might be the perfect excuse to go out and get one of the new S badges that Rick Hesel makes.

Man, break a foot off in someone's ass. That sucks.

There should be a paint code sticker somewhere on the car (usually in the door jamb) that will positively identify the paint used. Trust me, there are trickier colours out there than the S2K yellow. Also, assuming you have insurance, they should pay for a high-quality shop to do the work, so I don't think you have anything to worry about other than catching that little f#$%er.

Just don't go badgeless! Thats looks so ghetto, IMHO.
