Default Front bumper damage *pics*

My girlfriends dad (a 50+ year old man of all people) run my S up onto a curb while parking one day. We had traded cars so I could drive to pick up his daughter and luggage w/ a little more space. (Does anyone's girlfriend's/wife's luggage fit in their S?) Point is I have this damage and need to cover it up. Where can I get a cheap black front lip? Ebay has "CF" one's for $299 shipped but I really just want to get this covered up without spending too much. There has to be a cheap fiberglass alternative.



Thanks!

Thanks, I wasn't exactly sure where it would be appropriate.

does look beyond detail repair...
looks more like a paint job needed-
or, as you suggested, a new lip.
there are a few choices for front ends for our cars.

do you want to try to repair it?
we can give you info if you want to try it, but its not easy-

Ouch! I say that that is in need of a repaint if the plastic isnt cracked. It looks as though the plastic got roughed up pretty good and it will need to be sanded to get it smooth, then repainted.
If you do not want to spend much, make him pay for it or at least half of getting it repaired.
