2010 Nismo Front Bumper Damage
 
2 Attachment(s)
Not really sure how/when it happened but this morning I noticed that something struck my front bumper. I did some searching and found that I might have a few options. But I wanted to get some opinions on what everyone thinks. The damage it not really that bad but I know it will annoy me. I am not as concerned with the bottom cover as with the dent on the front lip.

So I think my options are:
1. Take off the bumper and take it to an auto body shop for fixing
2. Buy some type of cover for it....I saw this link but that was not a Nismo so I don't know if anyone has a cover for the Nismo
3. Get a new bumper from Nissan and have it painted.

Thanks ahead of time for the help.

I havent seen anything that will work for a Nismo so i think option 1 is your best bet.

Doh! That sucks... I knew it was going to happen sooner or later but not this soon.

One guy told me I might be able to use a heat gun (from a good distance away) and might be able to smooth it out. I don't think I want to try this even it might work.

Guessing ~100-300 worth of work to fix? Is this paint available for auto body shops?

Take it to a body shop and have it fixed. You'll probably pay more for labor than materials. The only thing that sucks is that there will be some downtime for your car during the summer driving season. Good luck!
