gouge out of my bumper
i went to walmart last night and when i came out i het the alarm and it sounded 3 times which means that my car was tampered with, so i looked around my car and see this big a$$ gouge taken out of my bumper and like 3 little scratches around it the gouge is about 1/4 inch deep maybe a lil less and about the size of quarter, so my question is is there any way to fix this i got some touch up paint and took care of the scratches but that gouge makes me wanna [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] so let me know is it fixable or am i out a bumper?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
Could it be from a shopping cart? Need to park far far away...
Sorry to hear that.
Even more reason why I am considering a 2-3 year old Civic EX so I don't have to go through that first ding trauma!

i had a nasty dent on my front bumper. it was on the front bumber near the bottom of the passenger's side. i pulled the front clip off heated the plastic bumper with a hair dryer and popped the dent out. then i used touch up paint and a wet sand fine grit sand paper to cover the scratches. this produced great results. you're talking about a gouge missing not a dent right? on this you need to take a trip to your hardware store and get a fiberglass or bondo patch kit. follow the steps for the fiber glassing to hide the hole. then if you're confident enough to use touchup paint, wet sand sand paper and a buffer it should hide it nicely.

This is very true. Don't park near the front entrance or shopping carts. I saw an old lady push a cart into someone else's car so she didn't have to deal w/ putting back.
