Nope, it's off. Anyway you look at it, you can tell the bumper doesn't match the fender. It's close but if you're told about it and look for it, you can definitely tell.

I can't tell my car bumper is not factory painted. My garage actually did a good job almost a year and the rock chips are minimal.

When I get my new bumper, I'll definitely learn from my mistakes and get a clear bra on it. I take a lot of road trips and my bumper looks like it got sandblasted right now.

That's a good plan!


I've really learned so much with this car it's insane. When I get my next sports car, I'm going to go at it at in an entirely different way.

My first and last sports car or nice car. It is too much stress and I am not getting any younger. Got to work on making a family.

Why is it stressful?

For example. Last week our parking lot flooded. The water was up to my knees and I kept on going outside to see if my car was okay.

I park in a parking garage at work and check on my car during the day.

I can't go on vacation without getting a car sitter.

No, I used to be like that. But then i just decided not to worry anymore. Whatever happens happens. I have a few door dings that I'd like to get rid off but nothing that bothers me enough. I guess I just kinda realized it's just a car and things happen.
