my front bumper looks like crap. it has rock chips all over it(from freeway), and little clear coat. i did not notice this when i bought the car. so is there any way i can get this fixed without having to go to a shop?

Thanks

No. You must go to a high-end body shop and pay $22,000 for a new paint job. You own a Cadillac. Man Up.

If the damaged bumped bothers you much, fix it properly. This is all about priorities. There is no cheap fix. If you understood how thick a wax coating is, you would never even consider this as a possible fix.

I just found a magic wax website that dissolves the color into scratches and knicks. You tell them what make, model, and year your car is and then they match the color pigment into the wax. The wax also has special polymers that give the paint a glass like finish and dissolves all of the orange peel in the paint. Had ya goin there didn't I.
Bite the bullet and have it painted by a top notch body shop. No other way.

Winter rims in San Diego? I've got a link to a special CAI that'll blow warm air on your engine in the winter. It's quite impressive.

the winter rim will be used for more then just for the winter, they will also be used for long road trip to nor-cal, there are a lot of mountains on the way to nor-cal

and my 20's will not survive(stocks for me). and i thought the main point of getting a CAI was to get cold air into it???

do you got a link? the reason i dont want to get my bumper repainted is because i want to get the holes taken out of it and thats going to cost more.
