I learned the hard way that the s2000's nose is A LOT longer than the 8th gen civic's, anything I can do for this short of a repaint (btw, some of this damage is from my dad, so its not all my fault:

unhappy wheel:

is there any way I can improve it short of bondo / painting everything

Ouch, thats gona hurt in the morning. I dont think that you did that all in one day, unless you took it off-roading or rock climbing.

I think that you can have your wheel fix at the Honda dealer and if you feel up to it you could just put a front under body spoiler on it to cover up your mistakes.

It was 2 seperate days, still, I want to stay away from the under body spoiler because it will make the bumper even lower, and there is a gravel road I plan on going up this fall and it looks like the s2000 will barely make it as is.

Is there anything I can do short of replacing / repainting the bumper?

btw, HONDAS_R_US, where in PA are you?

Honestly no. The damage is through the paint and you can see where the plastic bumper surface is damaged itself.

Now you can sand, bondo,sand, prime, sand, paint, sand and paint it again yourself...but do you really want to do that?

in that case I think the bumper will stay probably stay messed up until it whacks a deer. Which will probably happen relatively soon.

lol, my dad spent his first year in college in Erie, then transferred out because he just couldn't handle the weather.

Apparently there is a lot of snow there

So are we creatively planning

or is it a bad deer population problem

?
