Default Oops - Ideas
found a parking spot today with concrete that drops massively. This was the result...

Thoughts on the best way to repair?

Sorry to see. Been there before. 3 options that I see: 1) never ever look at the front end and forget it happened: 2) touch up paint with vinyl wrapping on the chrome; 3) or touch up paint and a new chrome trim piece for $60 and a little bit of your time (https://www.mylparts.com/auto-parts/...omponents-scat)

I appreciate the response. I read #1 to my wife and she busted up laughing. :-).

I will probably go with #3. I appreciate you sending that over.

When I felt the car rollover the concave concrete, I just rolled my eyes knowing something busted...

Well done. Looks great! Will take someone to know it’s there, and really looking hard to even know that something happened.

Replaced it. That's what the bumper removal was all about.
