I just noticed the front bottom bumper on my 2005 RSX is scraped up, like someone knicked it on a curb when parking. It isn't too bad, a triangle with a 5" wide base, about 3" high of scraped off and cracked paint.
I'm headed to my Acura dealer tomorrow for a tune up, any idea how much they'd charge for it to be touched up? The bumper itself isn't damaged, just the paint. I'm up from insomnia over this, as I just bought the car a few months ago.
Thanks all,

Probably someone scraped you in a parking lot,of course leaving without taking responsibility for their messing up your car;Scumbags.
The dealer will just send it off to a bodyshop to have them repaint it. It will probably be cheaper to go direct to a bodyshop of your choice to have it repainted. At least the bumper cover was not cut or punctured.
Last resort,you might be able to buy a spraycan of touchup paint and sand it down and redo it yourself,depending on what color it is.
acura was clearing out the RSX Aspec body kits for $100 a peice. If they have any left, it might be cheaper to buy the front Aspec peice, and just cover it up
Are the dealers selling these kits? TIA

RSX-S A-spec;
according to this site;the kits are $4281 USD plus 6hrs of labor.
I bought my kit for an 05 RSX, front, back Sides, for $400 Cdn total. But it was a couple months ago, so they might be all gone. I got it from West Side Acura ( my local acura dealership)
For just the side, front and back skirts its $97 a peice
