I was trying to park as close to a curb as possible due to the need for my passenger to exit in to a wheelchair. Well, I hit the curb & scuffed up real bad. I have a 2012 S model sedan, Malbec. The damage is very visible & there is a lot of plastic ground off. Can these bumpers be sanded & repainted or is it best to replace? I didn't take pics as I can't bare to look at the damage long enough to focus my camera.
Any advice? I am in So Cal & would appreciate any body shop referrals in my area (91367).

 

To have it look like the damage never happened, it may be cheaper and easier to replace it entirely with an OEM painted bumper than have a body shop try to repair and repaint it.

 

Let me know if you find any good deals if decide to get it done locally. I live in the same area as you and have some damage to my rear bumper that I need to get fixed.

 

Anyone know how much a new bumper cover is painted? Link?

The OEM spoiler might just cover that....

 

+1 on that idea. The OEM Sport bumper lip will run you $300-$400. It looks like that could very well just be covered up.

 

Can you elaborate?

 

Infiniti offer a factory chin spoiler accessory for sport and non-sport sedans. You can see some before and after pictures here;

Places like Grubbs Infiniti sell them for $360 and there's nearly always a 20% coupon available bringing the price to $288 before shipping. These are factory spoilers in the correct color for your car and while it's hard to be 100% sure from your picture, it looks they would cover your scrape;

 

Wow, this is great! Thanks for your suggestion. I think this will work. Now to find one.

 

Thanks guys for steering me in this direction. I just ordered one from the dealer I bought my car from. $360. Now I have to find a place to install it. Pick it up tomorrow.
I will test fit it first & report back.

 

honestly you could probably install it yourself super easy

 

I would need a DIY post before getting up the courage

Here you go doesnt seem too complicated pretty straight forward

 

Just did a test fit. Covered the damage 100%.
Almost glad I hit the curb as I would never have known about this. Malbec is a hard color to repaint, so this factory painted spoiler is perfect.
Thanks again for the replies.
