Well hit a big ass bump in the woman’s car and her tire smacked the rear fender and cracked the paint. Any suggestions on easy fixes or reasonably priced places to get it fixed? Pic of damage: ![http://img.tapatalk.com/a689589e-7d16-d700.jpg](http://img.tapatalk.com/a689589e-7d16-d700.jpg) ---

> [@LZ](#): > > Seem practical to have a car that low around here Well it’s on air ride and obviously she/I don’t drive it that low as it won’t even move. It happened in Erie, like i said it was a huge bump. we had some extra passengers in the back DDing some friends home from a wedding. Seems your observation and lack of advise is practical in this thread… ---

I run by this car a few times a week! Yes you will need to paint that but it’s a pretty easy fix. I am out of the loop but does Choko still have a shop? He took care of a very similar situation for me when I rolled fenders with no heat. ☹ ---

> [@Spam16v](#): > > Thanks, that’s my handy work. I did the powder. Still doin powder? She might want them refreshed over winter and I might want mine done too 🙂 Thanks for the actual advise so far. We are gonna check out some body shops. Thanks for the kind words too, she loves her car and that people are amped on it.
