It Was Bound To Happen... I'm a Bonehead... What do I do now?
OK, I admit it- I'm a bonehead... I managed to pull into a parking space too far, and scratch the lower front facia to hell... Help me, my Brothers and Sisters! What do I do now? How much does repainting cost? Should I just get one of those lower spoilers? Use a Colgen bra to cover it up? Can I just order the facia? Does it come prepainted? Who should do the work? Nice work, since I don't even have 3k on the "clock"...
Any and all advise would be deeply appreciated...
Thanks,
mck

That happened to me and I didn't even have 1K on mine. I let my dad drive and he pulled into a parking lot and drove it up on the curb. I thought I was going to cry. I just left mine that way. You really can't see it and chances are that you will or someone will do it again. Just drive man! It only hurts the first time!

I agree with jrfblueeyes, just leave it alone. I scrape my front lip all the time when going up/down driveways, no matter how slow or careful I try. Good thing is I don't really see it or notice it. If you repaint yours, it will happen again, and again 
. Just live with it.

1. Honda parts are amazingly cheap to replace.
2. Depending how bad it is, you can buff it out for $90.
3. Repainting, you'd be looking at $400 at least.
4. Try Paramount Collision in Burlingame. Tell Jerry, Everett sent ya and you'll be very very happy...

Or you can order a new bumper with J's lip from 4IG.
I would avoid using the bra except for long trips. Dirt will get between the bra and your paint. The effect will be similar to using fine grit sand paper. PM 4IGS2000. He'll give you a few options if you want to add a lip.
