Na, the garage is ok... I was in a rush and not thinking clearly...

Luckily 95% of what you see is clear-bra damage. Luckily the fender was spared due to the clear bra. It can just be buffed.
The bumper cover has to be repainted.

Sadly, the chin spoiler has to come off, clear-bra on the bumper cover & fender has to come off.
Buff the tip of the fender to get the paint transfer and 3m clear-bra glue off
Repaint the bumper cover (they're going to fix some previous road rash too).
I'll have to wait 30 days to re apply clear-bra and chin spoiler, which means no trips for a while.

They're also going to use dent-less repair on a few dings that were on the car previously that have been bothering me since I got the car.

So at least I'm making lemon-aid out of lemons.

well sounds like it could have been worse atleast

I had to have my fender and hood repainted earlier this season due to my own negligence. I dropped a trophy on it. Big thank you to rick for announcing that in front of everyone on Sunday btw :rolleyes:

I am patiently waiting the 30 days before I bring it to Jimmy to have him work his magic

I had Prestige work thier magic, so mine has been taken care of. I have to wait another 2 - 3 weeks before I can bring the car to you to get a good paint correction.
When the time is right, I will reach out don't you worry
