That 3M stuff looks pretty slick. You could probably do that yourself with a bit
of practice.

I'll let you know my opinions after I get my wife's new Accord bumber installed (hopefully later this week) after he paints it. I can say so far that he was easy to work with and promised me quick service. Ask me again in a few days.

Jonas,

What happened to it? Your Accord is new, no?

I won't go into details for fear of embarrassing my wife, but it involved gravity and a wood pile.

Needs a new bumber cover. Ordered it from Jeff, and his contact Bryan at Motorcars AutoBody is painting it as we speak. I hope to hear today or tomorrow that it's ready to be installed.

We just had the rear bumber cover repaired from a little old man who hit it from behind on an off-ramp about 3 months ago.

The car is awesome, but it's been a bit of a pain for the 6 months we've owned it (through no fault of its own)...

About that 3M stuff.
It does look nice and it costs at least on my car close to a grand to do.
If you have a dent or anything ever, the section cannot individually repaired and must be replaced all together. Add that to the cost of repair etc.
I am questioning the sanity of this procedure myself. Any thoughts on that??

Well, the bumper cover was installed a few days ago, and I'm really happy with the results. The cover looks original - paint match was perfect (it's the Accord Graphite). Looks like they know what they're doing, and do it well.
