Sorry to hear aboutthe bad news. However, now is the time to install that back up camera. Tell the wife...... If you had it before, this would have never happened.

If you decide to take it in and get it repainted/fixed it will cost plenty more than that. I got a scratch on the front bumper and was going to get it rixed. Removed sand and repaint. Three estimate anywhere from 280 up to 700! This was just a little five inch long scratch in the bumper too.

Yeah, you think it will be a quick little fix and then BANG. The price of auto refinishing is just skyrocketing, wish I would have stayed with it and gotten my degree to have a shop.
