Default Not cool, man.

Went to take out the trash and saw this work of art. I just got the kit painted and installed recently too. Pretty sure I'm gonna have to respray the front and rear bumper because of !@#$% drivers A week before EOS8 too !@#$%

Sigh. =/ I feel your pain. Freaking SF drivers. Piece of nut heads. I've been hit once from the back bumper, got that fixed. Oh, another idiot hits me. Cool. Got that fixed too. Now I noticed 2 license plate hole dents on mine. Not getting it fixed again till some major crap happens again. Sorry to see man. Hope everything works out.

Why do you have to redo respray front bumper if it wasn't damaged? I didn't see a pic of it shown.

Oooo hopefully its just an easy buff. If not, I feel bad bro. I went for a long drive today, and over half could not maintain speed. Seriously, there's cruise control. Same like minded simpletons probably did the same to your ride. Sorry for the mishap. Hope all works out!

Sorry to see that, you maybe able to buff it out. A light rub down of some paint thinner maybe remove the white stuff. Just make sure you give it a really good rinse down after.
