that sucks! I have had my front clip repainted, after I got a 3M clear bra put on, it's worth the money.

Good luck.

I had a friend of mine do it and traded my brand new coilovers and he paid me $250 so about $600 which included the front bumper and hood with bodywork.

Always get the license plate of the truck that dumps stuff on any roadway, then call the company and complain about it. Most big companies will pay to fix the vehicle in question, also loads like that should be tarped while in motion.


Good luck!

Contact the dealer where you bought it and ask them if they have a guy that comes around and paints bumpers on the lot. All of them do, and usually that guy will only charge you 150-200. I would def consider the 3m bra though....
