Need Help! Damaged Fender and Bumper!
 
My car got hit by a hit and run driver, details on that matter is over here in this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...97#post2020097

As for the help, anybody here knows if this can be fixed by myself in a cheap manor? There are no dents, just scratches and scrapes. The pictures are as follows:

As you can see, they're very deep scratches, you can see the metal bumper underneath the paint....
Any information or help on fixing this scrape will be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to mention that it has to be in SoCal, preferably in Orange County.

i dont think there is an easy way to fix this other than to get it taken off, sanded back, primed and painted again.


you could get paint chip fixer but it will look REALLY noticeable with damage that big

I was afraid of that.... I was hoping that there's something out there where I can do myself, I guess the damage is too extensive for that.

At least they got just the bumper cover and not the fender. Take it to a body shop and they'll probably give you a choice of repairing/repainting your bumper—or replacing it with a new one. A new, unpainted bumper cover from Mazda is $303.
