Default Is there an I'm a f'n idiot forum?

So this morning I pull in to work and I run into a one of those parking blocks or stops or what ever the hell they call those things as I'm parking. Now the bottom front of my car is all scratched up. I'm such an idiot. I called the body shop and they said it would be about $500 to fix it up. I have this feeling like I just want to explode. Talk about being in a crappy mood! I'm so STUPID, IDIOT, DAMMIT!!!!!!!!

Don't sweat it, man. The bottom front nose of everyone's car here has at least a scuff. Is it visible from a normal view of the car or only when you feel it or get down there to look?

Touch up paint was enough for my first curb, now I always pay attention when parking.

Lip protectors should be a standard noob purchase, esp if you lower or put an aftermarket (or honda) lip on it. Also everyone should get the convest driver side lense while their at it!

A OEM front lip costs around $320...cheaper and should cover up that scratches while improving your cars look .

Did the same thing a few weeks ago. Mine wasnt bad only a few little scuffs right at the bottom you had to get down on your hands and knees to see them.

Anyways my new OEM lip covers them all up. The oem lip actually covers up about the bottom 1 1/2 inches of your bumber. SO unless you really ate some curb your lip should cover all the damage. Piece of cake to install also.


Now its only a matter of time before MR lip meets Mr curb.

Oh well.
