Some Booboos need Band Aids. Any doctors out there?
Some Booboos need Band Aids. Any doctors out there?
Sorry for the metaphorical title. Basically, I'm trying to figure out the best way to either fix or simply cover up the few blemishes on my G, and I feel like these little things should be fixed before I go on modding it any further. I'm looking for the best balance of saving as much money as possible, while also making the ride look factory new, or at least close. So here are some pictures.
P.S. - Pictures were taken pre-clear corners :P
1/5 - Webs of cracks and scratches, unnoticeable from 7 ft +, but dreadful looking up close. Oh also, the little gunk spot inside the headlight, and yes I'm sure its inside the headlight. Guess I have to take it off?
2/5 - I call them the unwashable hood specks. They only seem to appear on the hood, but they are ALL over it, and nothing I've tried makes them go away.
3/5 - Results of trying to back into my garage will the fog-tint level of my back windshield at 5%. Paint is totally gone on the main gash.
4/5 - White paint from a drunken acquaintance reversing slowly into my headlight with his accord. Appears to be no dents, but the paint is pretty stuck on there and the bumper seems slightly bent.
5/5 - Remains of my once perfect bumper. I crunched it against my dads Land Cruiser. It really is hardly my fault at all, but I'll spare you the long explanation. Its dented and cracked all throughout.

easy buy a new oem bumper from here or get an aftermarket front and rear bumper, upgrade your headlights
now you just modded and fixed the problem.
and for the hood, use claybar or get a new used one, or repaint it.

Thanks guys. It seems like nismo body kits are the way to go, but I'm not sure of the cost on them and I'm somewhat afraid to find out.
If I were to try and paint over some of these blemishes, where / what is the best paint out there for its price?

I respect Texas and was glad they beat USC a few years ago. Second best BCS title game ever.
And I agree about Tressel. How mad can I really be about losing a bowl game after massacring the wolverines time and time again? This year is gonna be an interesting one though, lots of rebuilding. I'm anxious to see Pryor develop.

Only team ever to go 14-0. It just sucks that we played so badly in those other 2 title games. I thought (hoped) we'd beat you guys last year, but no such luck. At least we've been pounding the crap out of Michigan since Jim Tressel arrived. Makes everything else tolerable.
