Angry SHIZNIT!!I just cracked my Lorinser lip spoiler!!!

Yep, the lip spoiler only lasted me one month 'till my dumbass broke it today. I was late to work today so I didn't notice my bumper scrape againts that bottom thingy that is in front of parking spaces. So when I pulled out not only did my lip spoiler break my full bumper came out of its bracket(by an inch)!!! It turns out that "thingy" in the bottom of the parking space had a bolt wedged out of it so when I pulled out it ripped off a piece of the bottom spoiler, and moved out my bumper w/all the force. Man I'm pissed!! I fixed the bumper, now comes the hard part- can the polyurethane's crack be fixed? If so do you guys have a "guesstimate"? Please help....It is really pathetic how much my car affects my feelings....

Man, that's crappy. I know when I had to get a bumper fixed on my Miata that I got one of my local body shop to do it. They should for the most part all be able to do it. To fix a split bumper cost me $100 Canadian, or about $65 USD, plus a coat of paint. Sorry I can't point you to someone in your area.

Yes the parts can be fixed, we are a full paint and body shop and do this type of work all the time. You are in the SF Valley, come on by and I will take care of it for you.

i always stay far away from those stupid things in parking lots and leave the car in reverse when i park so as to not ever lurch forward accidentally and hit one. of course it helps that i have a small car. even if i'm 4 feet away, i'm still completely in the space.
