Badly scratched

I accidentally scraped my front on a parking block by going a little too far up.. there's a fat gash and scratched all over the front. anyway i can fix it without having to pay an arm and leg?

i backed into a car the first month i had my fit... very sad. the corner of the bumper was badly chipped and scratched. i just had it repaired for $200. they took off the bumper, filled in the scrapes and repainted/clearcoated it. good as new.

A body shop should be able to fill in the scrapes (what is it, urethane?) and repaint it, for less than what a new bumper would cost.

I find it funny as heck that my comment was "deleted" like some government X-Files tactics.

I DO understand why though. Hopefully you "deleter" understood the humor behind it.
