Might have to use this as an excuse to find a new bumper, but I don't really like the options out there. I was really digging the stock bumper.

I kinda like this one, but maybe I should use it as an excuse to come up with more concepts for a possible group-buy.

Wow, that sucks. Sorry to see that. Why do I feel like I'm one of a very small group of people that would leave a note to fix MY mistake?

Bumper looks fine. The metal appears to be the bigger concern. :(

I always leave a note. I don't usually leave my insurance information laying around, but I always leave my cell phone number.

I've got that stupid "as seen on tv" ding remover thing. It works okay; I might try it out tomorrow. I'd do it now, but it's raining.

That Sucks.

What makes it worse is it's on the pearl white. Now, in order to fix it properly without having a marking line, or a seam where the pearl will be different, you'll have to spray the whole side. Ahhh, the joys of having pearl paint.

This, unfortunately.

And getting scuffed sucks no matter what color you get, but I suppose it is a bit worse on the pearl paint. Try to buff it off with some scratch remover, and grab some touch up paint from Nissan... unless you plan on getting a bumper and just have a body shop paint, put it on, and repair the damage on the rear quarter.
