This one’s totally one me. Was in a rush and well, this happened. Anyone experienced this and have any tips on best and cheapest way to fix? I feel like the flare can be sanded and painted. The scuffs on the body come off fairly easily.

Damn..

Just a battle scare my man. Now do the other side so its symmetrical lol.

That looks fairly deep into the plastic, you’ll probably need to replace the entire flare. The good thing is I believe they come pre-painted, so you shouldn’t have to deal with all that hassle at least.

Replace / repaint, you are not fixing that flare. I had some selfish driver attempt to nose their way into a turn lane on me, Lucille ended up with a couple of scuffs on the fender flare - nowhere near what you have. Insurance shelled out 700 for it. Obtained from a stealership, confirmed a non-aftermarket part.

Selfish driver tried to blame me, however, I had photos and evidence. It did not end well for selfish driver. First, Lucille tore off their front bumper(cover) with her tire. It was kind of a pathetic sight. Then, selfish driver had to pay for their stupidity.

as to the paint, a good body shop will make that disappear and you will not be able to tell visibly it was ever scratched. Emphasis on good, choose your shop carefully.

Yeah, that’s what I was worried about. My neighbor is a supply chain manager for Classic Collision here in Atlanta and figured I’d see if I could get it 90% back to original without filing with insurance. Depending on the cost difference between that and paying cash at the dealership.

Lol! She’s my baby! Haven’t had it two months before this happened today. I’m okay with scratches but rather earn them off road somewhere vs my driveway!
