Didn't look to bad Jason. I agree let the insurance handle (that's what you have it for).

and no on the rear lip/bumper wouldn't look right.

WOW i forgot about that guy's Fit! it actually isnt too bad... theres another pic on pg 7. but in that pic it looks quite low... i'm not sure it could cover the hole, (runs outside at night with a flashlight to check now)

 

is that mugen lip thing gonna work?

 

the damage isn't as bad as i originally thought when i first read this thread. everyone pointed out that a body shop could fix the gouge, no prob -- if you choose to go that route. IMO, you should wait till you've got the full Fugen (fugen reference VIA gimme ) lip kit and get it painted/mounted all together. Fugen rear lip on OEM side skirts/front lip would be fail.

man, on my way home i was cut off by three bmw owners!
by the third one i've already had it with their bullshit. i threw my empty juice bottle at the fcuker's window when i pulled up next to him -- he sped off and i couldn't catch up LoL.. he's lucky i bought minute maid instead of snapple!

haha thats so tight man you should carry around a carton of eggs with you at all times haha

i mean if theyre parents can buy the kids an m3 im sure they can afford repainting them

 

damn does it really look bad? i was so excited about it

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...-thread-8.html u SUREE? that TWB pic altthough super blurry doesnt look too bad.. hmmmmmmmmm

 

just leave it alone, its just a Fit. Thats what I say now when I get scratches and shit. Im tired of dishing out cash for cosmetics on this car. Its never ending.

 

eh yeah, when we first got our car, my dad accdiently back into a stucco wall and now we have a giant scratch on the passenger side of the car, we just left it. b/c we don't really care that much. i guess it looks unique ya know. at least people can spot your car! haha so if you see an SSM with a giant gash on the right side you'll know its me!

 

ooh i saw it! i think you should try claybar or scratch-X! i did the same to my dad's van to the garage stucco wall haha i used that stuff and got most of the nasty beige wall color off

 

its WAY TOO DEEP, you can see the black plastic no claybar or scratch X is ever gonna get that out. haha where did you see it?

 

atthemeet. lol but i didnt get to meet u

 

time to upgrade in my opinion... get an aftermarket bumper or just live with it. its not worth paying the premium on your insurance to fix a scratch. try touch-up paint.

 

haha i was there for like 5 minutes. i heard like 5 people say like who is that guy!? haha yeah i shoulda introduced myself but i was late for work!!!

 

FAIL


95% WIN!


to cover that hole well, the lip will prob have to be slightly angled, with the damage side higher. But i'll have to take it to a body shop to tell 4 sure overall it looks like wont be too bad

 

-1 for crappy pics...in for better ones

 

i'll take 1 more but i'll prolly go crazy after i paint it

 

i dont know if you can tell but the left side is sitting slightly higher, it might have to stay that way to cover the hole

 

No do not angle it. The lines will be off and it will look half assed. When they put the lip on they can fill the hole sand it down and then put the lip on.

 

i dont know what i did but when i got it home, i stuck it on dead even! The guy at honda fit tuner said i'd prolly just have to make a few cuts near the exhaust outlet on the kit and it'll even out no problem.

oh i forgot to add, i had spoken to a body shop and they told me they could fix the hole - but cracking may occur after 2-3 years since the bumper has a tendency to flex and bondo/fillers are usually hard

 

^ cause you're not suppose to use bondo for plastic bumper.
There're plastic repair materials they can use.
Body shop should know that.
I wouldn't trust any place that doesn't know that.
