    Someone was kind enough to scratch the passenger rear bumper cap on my truck yesterday. I haven’t even gotten my permanent plates yet.

    Ofcourse there was no note.

    Bummer! But that first scratch was bound to happen. That's why when I get a new vehicle, the first thing I do I key the door. :)

    I broke mine by rear ending tree on like 3mph... That piece comes out and costs 40$. If its just a scratch maybe paint it over

    He said he has just scratch, he can maybe paint it over. I mean if it is chrome, prob not but if its black bumper or something might be paintable.

    I’m thinking I’ll get some color match paint as suggested above until I can find a nice clean pearl white replacement.

    Sorry.... people are asses. Other stories to make you feel not as bad -

    Was in a supermarket lot one day last year waiting for Mrs. Arc. The lady across the parking aisle in her F150 apparently left it in gear, was working furiously on her phone, didn't notice she started drifting forward. Was mildly heading in my direction, but then graciously pushed into the Subaru next to us. She didn't see me sitting there watching her, proceeded to pull away and park hidden in McD's. I left a note on the Subaru with the plate # and what I saw, as it wasn't horrible but still scratched up like yours. F them peopleszsz...

    Just replaced this and turns out plastic was too broken inside, and even some metal ( not frame ) is bent.. I feel so embarrassed. Meaning of word Truck has gone from tough to 2mph rear ending tree causing this much damage.

    I think I am going to get steel bumper. They are good for low speed accidents and I've never been to accident in my life, just this kind of hit ups and stuff during bad weather
