This time I'm not going to have the front license plate bracket drilled through. When I take photos the car will have cleaner lines as well. I'm taking care of it at the end of the month. I appreciate everyone's input on this.
Well, at least one good thing came out of this process

Good luck with the repairs, and make sure your dad is more careful driving the IS-F

Just curious, how much are they charging you for a new bumper? Just for future reference.

Good luck on the fix, any small ding is a bummer on a new car.

Well I've replaced mine already and it cost $996. The finish and paint look like if it was brand new. I've very happy with it! That small ding would have driven me nuts!
