    So one of my delightful neighbors (not sure who) did this to my bumper and light without leaving a note. Gotta love living in Socal...

    I can't tell if they were pulling out (that's what she said) or trying to parallel park in, and how does someone nick the tail light perfectly to take some plastic off but not crack the light?

    Blows, but if you’re not going to armor, those end caps are relatively cheap. Had the same thing occur with my 19 when it was 3 months old. I got the oem cap for about $65 and a local paint shop painted it for $90 and I put it on. Came out perfect. As far as the the light....:itllbuffout:. Meg’s clear plastic polish should make short work of that.

    I wouldn’t bother having the part repaired simply because the new part is cheaper than the labor to repair the old one and those caps have a texture on them that it would be difficult or impossible to repair and put it back in.

    Ohh yeah....then finish off his bumper with a boot

    Oh nice, that's a decent price for oem caps. Do you have parking sensors too?

    I had similar damage to my bumper, but not my taillight. I Plasti-Dipped my two caps black, without even removing it to paint it. Still looks new.

    $5 can of Plasti-Dip.

    You can get them with sensor cutouts or without. They have all colors even Bed Liner.

    You can also get matching paint and fix it yourself.
