About the hit. Use 1500 grit wet sand paper and very lightly go over the damaged area. After that apply sevral coats of wax using a buffing machine. Go over the area until you bring back the shine. Worked for me when my woman hit my car against a wooden fence.
I used Mothers Wax by the way.

^^^ I could never do that. I would be to worried to mess it up.

The guy at the body shop that painted my bumper told me the steps. I was also scared but then I went ahead and did it, completely removed the light scuff marks it had. Gotta have patience. LoL maybe the detailing gurus in here know of other methods like MPCobraFan.

Like honestly I hope it comes out I JUST bought my new sixer not more than 3 months ago tops

Happened to me on my rear bumper cover. I used some polishing compound and then cleaner wax and regular wax. It helped somewhat, but I need to go over it again when I can give my car a good handwashing.

It will take off your paint. I have a very hard time finding past 600 grit here in my city. I ended up buying a pack on eBay with multiple wet/dry sheets from like 600-2000 it came to like $12 with shipping.

Yeah, I wouldn't use anything less than 1500-2000 wet sanding paper.

Seems like most small hardware stores carry it as opposed to large ones.

200-240rwhp.

lots of variables here to give an exact number...mainly which cam you go with.

if you ever seriously considered it, if you can find a cheap 4.2l shortblock you should install the heads/cam/intake on a 4.2L than swap it in.

However, I would just like to say that... Supercharger/turbo > H/C/I in terms of $$ spent per hp.
