If I did take it somewhere how much do you think they will charge? Could anyone recommend a shop in the Raleigh/Cary area? Thanks guys!



they might need to redo your front lip, prime and paint

I mean they could paint it, but then they'd have to blend it...so you would be able to get one for cheaper.

might as well get some touch up paint from honda, and some 3M rubbing compound.

id say buy you a new one, and practice body work and paint on the chipped one so in case something happens to your new one, youll have your fixed old one for a backup
