Hit and Run update DIY repair with pic

[Baer383]

I work in a bodyshop and repair stuff like this all day long don't replace the cover the color won't match.

Ok, so I used my wife's hair dryer and and crowbar and it already looks much better.
I wonder if I can use some bondo and just some touch up paint to make it look like new again?

S. happens.

but, in your case, it sucks when others do it. i am very picky where i go with my camaro, but its life, and no matter how careful, stuff happens, and yes people dont care. its not right. anyway, if i were you, i would get it to body shop and fix it correctly. that is a nice car, and it will bug you, if you are particular, if not fixed . dont worry about the mods, spend the jack and fix her. she will appreciate it! GOOD LUCK

I am already restless since I can't stand it my baby being hurt.
Just did some work in my 120F garage but it was well worth it.

I got some when I painted my strut tower brace and it's a good match, you will also need the clear coat.

Hope you get your car fixed up the way you want it. I was working in my garage today on my new CAI and air scoop they work great! But ya it was hot.

Not to be an ass, but that looks like parking bumper / curb rash.

It's easy to do and not even know it.

I have done a lot of stupid things and always have been aware of it.
Whenever I park I do it slowly.
I don't know but I think I would have felt it,imho.

That sucks to see. I am paranoid something similar will happen to me all the time, but then again I have been the target to vandalism a few times.
That does not look like bumper curb rash as the scratch dent in higher from the ground. Curb damage tends to start lower as no curb starts 6" above the ground. That's the height they end at.
On the other hand, try lowering your deductible. Little stuff like that bug me so I have a $100 comprehensive deductible. It only costs an extra $17 per 6 months from a $500 deductible on my plan.

Not if it's just plastic. Been there, done that. A 3800lb car barely feels plastic bend. Just saying. It's easy to do, no slight intended.

That's another good thing about the JacFab. I will hit or scrape it first head on.

Sorry that happened.

But after reading the posts, why the heck are you guys driving it to work and the store??!!

Those are the worst places to own a decent car.
