Default How many of you guys have done this . . . .

Pulled in too far into a parking space and scuffed your front bumper on the curb.

I did it at lunch today. I had taken some medicine for a migraine and was feeling a little loopy. I was not being my normal cautious self and scraped the hell out of my front bumper

I wanted to die!!!

It is in the shop now, I could not bear to look at it.

The dealer said it is a common problem and an easy fix, and it should only cost around $150.

To make me feel a little better, how many other owners out there have done the same thing?

If you scratched the bottom of the bumper, why not just buy a painted lip for a little bit more?

I did this when I just got the car, I bought a front lip to cover it up.

Me too on about my fifth or sizth time parking. Hit a park stop in a parking lot. That is one painful scraping sound on a car with under 50 miles...

I did it once...about 3 days after I bought the car. I'm planning to slap on an Amuse lip to cover it up. Luckily for now it was the very bottom of the bumper and you can barely see it.
