So a guy rear-ended me last night. The only damage was two screw holes dug into my lower rear bumper (the grey plastic part). I'd rather just fix it myself rather than go through insurance. Does anyone know a DIY filler product that will take care of it?




Screw holes left and right.

If the other guy was insured, I would go through his insurance and have it professionally repaired. When dealing with the flexible bumpers, you need flexible primer, paint, top coat, etc. You may even insist that they just replace the whole bumper's skin (which is what I would prefer).

Also, a dealer (or other reputable shop) would inspect beyond the bumper for any internal damage.

I am installing a rear hitch in the near future and will equip it with a ball to prevent any possible mishaps with drivers in the parking lot.

I'm going to install my newly received Draw-Tite receiver hitch to my NX later this afternoon. No permanent ball (that's too redneck-looking).

Your insurance isn't involved his is , he hit you , have his insurance fix it. That isn't an easy fix.

Looks like that would be sanded smooth and the bumper cover repainted, or at least most of it depending on where the tech feels is the best place to blend the paint. About a $300 repair

I had a mobile dent repair guy come and fill the holes, sand it and paint the bumper. It looks good as new now. He charged $275 and I got the guy to hit me to pay for it.

Glad to hear it but this thread is useless without new pics.
