I suggest going to a local auto shop to get their advice & an estimate on a repair. I'm sure with your background & college major that you could tell if they are being truthful.

I'm sure that with your blessed beauty that you could make some legal $'s working @ a local car show posing with the owners to highlight their vehicle (just a suggestion).

Wish you good luck on getting it fixed, but I'm sure that you will find a way...4-Sure
Good luck @ college & in life...Peace/Out from `Space
Yes, I love her to death, she is my best friend, but never again!

You mean being a car show model? I never knew that existed, and I like the sound of it. I need a second job and nobody is hiring. Got any more info on that? I would love to do that!

Thank you! Yes, I will find SOME way. I always do haha God will fix everything for me. Thank you! I love this forum and the people here. So glad I joined it.

those are pretty expensive, but what you probably need.

If you know someone that paints, you could probably get it painted and all with cost of paint for $150 - 200.

My mom backed into my girlfriends car and we got the whole front bumper replaced and painted by a friend for $300 total.

If you can find a bumper at a yard for like $70-100 you could save some money there

Just keep in mind that a bumper online won't match the factory paint as well as it would if someone local took the car and matched it. Although it should look pretty good still

Okay, I will hunt around then for a new one. Too much work and money to sandpaper and fill? I know it looks super bad in the picture, but I hardly notice the crack.
