I almost cried

paratrooper · 09-18-2014, 10:30 AM

Well guys, I've been driving Tina for the last week since winter will be coming up soon and when I went to wash/wax her before putting her in the stable I find this...

After being very pissed and then almost crying I resolved myself to the ya'll.

I have no idea where/when this happened but I always park far away from everyone!

This is scratched into the plastic of the bumper, not just the paint. Is there any fix for this that doesn't involve a body shop or new bumper ?

Thanks in advance..

sorry to see.

i would sand/bondo it, and then put the new 4D overlay on the entire front bottom portion... or just glossy black.
should look nice again.

What is this 4D overlay you speak of ?

kenchan · 09-18-2014, 10:40 AM

it is the current version simulated carbon fiber overlay (decal) post DiNoc. you can find small rolls on amazon/ebay, also bluebatmobile (vendor) should carry it too.

if you're not into cf, you can also get glossy black.

I was actually looking at the Stillen fascia but it doesn't look like it has places for the LED's on the 2014's.

I was expecting something more harsh...

Dear lord! Sux man! Look up the evo-r carbon fiber fang cover they're 180$ and they look great! It will definitely cover that portion of the bumper and will cost about the same as fixing it via body shop plus you will have carbon!!

When I look up pictures of that Evo-r it looks like its on all pre 2013 models. I did see somewhere else where someone mentioned something about aerojacket.. maybe I'll check there since I'm picking up a duckbill too.

I thought about trying a wet sand tonight but its only going to make it a little better since its into the plastic. Maybe slightly less ugly.

paratrooper · 09-18-2014, 11:32 AM

Anyone have a picture of this 4D on the front of their 2013+ ?

BC416 · 09-18-2014, 11:37 AM
