Backed over my driveway curb
Today woke up had to goto work half asleep, I pulled in the garage a little uneven that night so I was out of it backed outta the garage sideways went over the curb at the end of my driveway. Scraped the hell out of the side of my front bumper towards the bottom. So the only flaw on the car is the front bumper which includes: Rock chips, Mark from the tagholder was, curb rash on the side(was there before), NOW curb rash on the bottom and a scratch/gash a few inches long where a car tapped the bumper when I had it parked. Oh well I figure i'll either get a body kit, or the 97+ conversion and it already had tons of flaws anyways on the f. bumper. I'm just glad I didn't get it fixed from all the other flaws then do it then i'd be extremely pissed lol...

my front bumper when i got the car was all f'ed up, the past owner had a bra on it. I just lightly sanded it (was time pressured couldnt do it perfect) and went to the local auto paint store and had em fill up spray cans of garnet pearl and painted it in a friends backyard in the wind and sand and rain was comming. Didnt come out half bad for a half a$$ job, it would be near perfect except for the fact the paint is still not perfectly smooth underneath.
total cost = $30

If you're going to get a body kit front bumper, get it all so it flows well.
You're looking at probably $500 from buying the bumper to getting it painted to installation.
