Had 1 week and this happens - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have been super careful parking this car, but today I wasn't careful enough. Pulled in just a little too far and got a scrape under my passenger front bumper. Had a sick feeling in my stomach.

Couldn't even enjoy lunch.
Anyone have any ideas how much it would cost to have this repainted?

Legend · 09-17-2010, 08:56 PM

Ouch!

No clue on cost...just take it in and see...can't have a Camaro running around with that!

Camaro21 · 09-17-2010, 08:59 PM

That sucks !! Good luck

01pewterz28 · 09-17-2010, 09:24 PM

Figure about $300

ssummit camaro · 09-17-2010, 10:54 PM

yeah i figure between 250-350

Happened to me too in Austin, I didn't know where I was and my sister was yelling at me and I pulled over to the side of the road and SCRAPE. Good thing is you can't see it.

Same thing happened to me last month. I blame it on the valet parkers at The Oasis, but it was probably me. I had it fixed for $150. Very well done.

Put a GFx package onit that covers it. That's what I would do. I think the razzi will?

Scott@Bjorn3D · 09-18-2010, 05:19 AM

Yep those front ends are low and now we know why my wife does not drive my car. She scrapes the front end of her Acura all the time.

King Mouse · 09-18-2010, 07:08 AM

More than that.....you are into the plastic.

scythezo6 · 09-18-2010, 11:05 AM

This is why I back into to spots. Rear has more clearance

Romeloc · 09-18-2010, 07:16 PM

dam. I have been through the same sh**

Indpowr · 09-18-2010, 07:22 PM

Just buff it up some. Yes it has some war wounds but most people are not 6 inches tall, so do not get upset over it. Not worth it.
