    :( My first mistake...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Looked behind me to back up, saw nothing, so I backed up.

    well, there was a trailer behind me!!! I couldnt see it in my mirrors because it was right behind my car and too low! ugh...





    Is this easily fixable? For how much? I have the ocean blue pearl color, is it going to be hard to match with the rest if the car? Im just mad at myself

    piece of cake, shouldnt be very expensive. call your preferred body shop, i would say under $500 easily.

    Re: :( My first mistake...

    This has been done on my car as well for a similar reason. IIRC, about 400ish. Paint match should not be a problem as they will only paint a small portion and blend the rest.

    did, unfortunately the trailer was too low and too close to the car for leaning over my shoulder and checking mirrors to see. it was a small trailer. had the car 8 months now, and nothing. now this

    Re: :( My first mistake...

    thats repairable. dont stress. I had worse damage on my USP bumper and it was repaired flawlessly. Someone backed into my car with a trailer hitch and punched a square shaped hole in it and the shop plastic welded it or something and resprayed the bumper. good as new.

    Re: :( My first mistake...

    At any reputable shop it should be no more than $400 and as stated above they will only apply base coat to a small area and blend the rest so no worries about the color match. Sorry bro
