Can body shop fix this?

forza370z · 04-02-2014, 04:15 PM

So I just got this nismo front bumper today. But it has damages on one corner that will connect to the fender due to the shipping. Before I get in touch with the sender and shipping company, I want to know if it's a big deal or a good body shop will make it perfectly "invisible". Any input will be appreciated!

Broken one:

The other corner isn't broken:

From the side:

The good one:

A good bodyshop will be able to fix it, but plan on spending 2 or 3 hours of labor on it

Just looks like a scuff. Just sand it down and re-round it off.

Yeah, if it's just unpainted plastic, it shouldn't be a big deal to fix.

Thanks guys!

I am sure the bodyshop can re-round it off. But what I am worried about is it would look shortened and won't line up perfectly with the fender.

The shop can shave the other side to match but its goingnto look like a chunk is missing at each corner. Where did you buy this?
