In the second week of owning my new Evo when a piece of wood flings up from the highway and lands a nice scratch on my bumper.



I've never owned canards before, but after looking at a few pictures I think it might be possible to hide this scratch for the meantime.

Can anyone that has used canards tell me if they will cover it up? If so, let me know of any brands or places I should look into.

Thanks in advance for the help!

 

You're better off getting it touched up. I don't really see the point of having canards on a street car. Just my 0.02.

 

Ditto. On an otherwise stock evo, canards are going to look pretty lame.

 

you cant really rock the canards without a lip and wing imo

Wood, unless it actually dents the panel, usually does not scratch the paint deep enough to require a complete repaint. Although it's hard to tell from the photo, it looks as though the two scratches are on the clear coat, and can possibly be buffed out to a point where they may not even be noticeable. It may be worth taking your car to a reputable detailer or body shop to ask for their opinion. You'd be surprised what can be done to fix scratches on two panels with two-stage paints...

 

Bro... don't get canards... looks good just the way it is.

Leave the scratch and wait... your bound get more imperfections or some other exterior modifications in the future...and then get everything fixed at the same time. Save your money.

Nasa said the same thing about a piece of foam and a space shuttle wing too. We all know how that ended.

 

hum..i dont think canards are able to cover that...it can cover the top part but not the bottom part. Just leave it like that

 

buff, touch it up, have clear-bra installed.

 

Thanks, I appreciate everyone's input... no canards. Now I just gotta find a reputable body shop near me.

 

Where are you located?
