Anyone know the best way to fix a dug in scrape on the the lower body.

The area is the plastic skirt right by the exhaust pipe.

Damn parking jockey.

Try and use a plastic welder for it or... buy new rear lips , they come painted.

A plastic welder? Any idea where I can look for such a thing?

Also, where can I find a new rear lip? Directly from Scion?

Thanks.

a plastic welder takes some experience to get it right. as for the rear lip, check the classifieds here or call your dealer

It is minor, but annoying.

Would you suggest just having the dealer fix it?

the rear bumper skirt comes UNPAINTED from the dealer - i've bought several of them. trust me.

you can either buy a new skirt and get it paitned - or look in the yellow pages under AUTOMOBLE:BODY SHOPS:BUMPER REPAIR and call those guys for a fix.

OR. Live with it.

can you post a pic of the area? is it cracked or gouged?

Gouged is closer and while it isn't huge (maybe an inch or 2 right of the exhaust tip) it is pi/ssing me off everytime I see it.

Anyone know the price on replacing this rear lip?

I'll try and get a pic up today.
