Not exactly new to CL but I've had my 93 LS for awhile and was going to post pics/introduce when I finally started to VIP/mod it.


Not much of an accident, more like a side swipe but it hurts to see this...

All in all I don't think the damage is that bad. I still have the piece that fell off and it looks like fine, just have to put it back on. I'm hoping that the scrapes can be buffered out. Anybody have some better suggestions? IMO, it doesn't look that bad but I'm not an expert so I can't be really sure.

Sorry for the bad cell phone quality pictures, will get some better ones up later.

Thanks in advanced guys.

Sorry for your accident. It is hard to tell by the photo whether there are creases in the sheet metal, etc. However, even creases can be removed reasonably. My passenger door got rammed hard by a shopping cart and I was left with a long crease. I didn't think there was any way a paintless dent remover could make it better - the guy was a wizard - it is now perfect. There is no evidence of a dent. Plus, it cost less than $75!

I bet your paint could also be compounded out, etc. You would be surprised what you could get done reasonably.

hard to tell exactly what the marks are composed of, but i had a scrape with a black rubber bumper that left similar looking marks. they came off pretty easily with a kitchen sink scrubber/sponge. BUT DO NOT USE AN ABRASIVE SCRUBBER. mine had like a nylon mesh over the sponge that did not have any copper or other abrasive in it.

Thanks for the input guys, sorry for the crappy phone pictures though. Trying to find a way to get the piece back on before I fix up the paint.

Hurts my eyes whenever I see it :/
