How far is too far?

Don't sweat it man, I understand the whole wanting to keep your car perfect thing, but stuff happens when you drive your car. Like you said, be happy that you haven't had any major damage done like some on the forum.

Just find the missing end of the broken hook and then kick the crap out of it...you should return to normal after that!

What kind of places do trim repair? Better yet, does Nissan make a touchup paint for the black trim?

One of the hooks must have snapped and it put two nice, semi-deep scratches into the grill. The good news is the scratches are on the underside of the grill and you can't see them unless you are basically on your back looking up at the car. The bad news is, they still really bother me and I'd like to fix them.

I know there is no way to replace just the grill, so do you guys think it would be overkill to get a whole new bumper? If so, then please bring me back to my senses, lol.

Oh, God, don't do that. And as your first reply-poster said, who is going to lay on the ground and look up under your grill? I can be pretty obsessive, too, and it only causes pain. Do yourself a favor and try to relax. Hope this helps.

I live by the 10 foot rule. If it cant be seen from 10 feet away, then who cares. And for those who get within that 10 feet and point out the scratches and chips on my car, f you

Send someone $500 plus your bumper. Then they send you a like-bumper. Then everyone is happy.

If it you got the money and it bothers you that much, you can't put a price on happiness. Just make sure your priorities are straight =). Remember its only a car.
