Sup cambo, nothin much goin on except my ability to hit curbs that pop up out of the ground, heh.

I wasn't planning on replacing anything, a simple "bend it back" type fix would suffice. I wanted to get an informal quote but it's labor day weekend so no shops are open. So if anyone can throw out a ballpark figure, i'd be grateful still.

s2kpuppy, it cost me $75 for each wheel which included sandblasting for prep, the powdercoating, and the clearcoat. Supposedly black chrome is a more expensive color, so if you chose a different color it might be even cheaper.

I spun my car once and slid backwards onto a curb, luckily only the metal bended underneath the car.

I hate it when those damn curbs pop out of nowhere! its barely noticeable even after you drew the line in the second pic.

I think that as long as the fender is still aligned with the hood, you shouldn't worry about it too much. Sure, you are always going to know it's there, but that's alright. I've also got a couple of "oops" areas on my car that nobody even notices until I point them out.

I ran over a cumb before too because this corner came out kind of weird, but I only scrapped my lip. Took me a little bit of time to see where the damage was in your first pic. Its not that visible, but you know its there. I hate that feeling.

I really like what you did with the wheels.

dont look now but just the paint itself will cost about 300 already. thats for one pint of paint (color matched already), your epoxy primer and your clearcoat. thats not including the labor to "pop it back out" and put body filler on it, and actually paint it. if its anything like a bumper it'll prolly be around 500.... i ooops'd on my accord's front bumper... i have to sand it down and repaint the whole thing...
and yes, dont get it replaced... just get it popped back out, some shops do a crappy job welding stuff together.

Thanks for all the morale boosters .

Shotiable, i'm probably not gonna go all out with repainting that area since it's just the bottom and seems to still be in decent shape, minus a few scrapes. I'm hoping they can find a way to just pull back the sheet metal to it's original position (or close to it). If the indent didn't cause the illusion of the front being lifted higher than the back, i wouldn't care so much. The low profile of the s2k is just so damn nice and it would be a shame to have that ruined.

When will find out the news?
