to paint or not to paint, that is the question!
#1
I took my car in yesterday to get the new TCM installed and rear bumper clips replaced as per the TSBs. The car shifts much more smoothly with the new TCM so I'm glad I got that done. After some discussion with the Service Manager about the rear bumper clips and the paint damage to both the bumper and the trunk lid he offered to completely repaint the rear bumper and fix the trunk lid as well.....all under warranty. They would have to take the bumper off anyway so it makes sense I guess. While I'm glad that he was willing to go the extra mile and repaint everything I am a little scared about how the finished product is going to look. Just wanted to get your opinions on whether I should do the repaint or just have him buff the scratches out of the bumper and touch-up the trunk lid.
