I just got my 2005 4x4 S for christmas. My dad was driving from New York to Pennsylvania with it and on the Jersey Turnpike a truck blew its tire. And of course my luck its scaratches up the plastic bumper in the front and knocks off the cap where the foglight would be...I got a new cap, but how can I get rid of the scratch..any ideas?

good cover up = great story

Try our Appearance section for tips on spiffing up damage to the plastic.

As your dad no doubt was behind the truck who's tire blew, he of course could read the plate, and of course the trucking co will pay for the damages.

So you should be fine.



Hey, you got it for free, let it go.

consider yourself lucky that's all the damage you got... this happened to me in my bimmer on i-95 last year... cost me a foglight, the mount, bumper cover, lower and inner bumper panels and various other trim parts... not to mention beating up the front panel something fierce...
