So, how's your day?

someone was parked in my assigned spot so I had to park on the street.
I then curbed a rear wheel ....twice.
Luckily they were my winter beaters that will probably retired due to vibration/bad fit.

I did exactly this last year. I was so angry with myself and felt like such a fool. I hate to admit it but hearing that other people have made the same mistake makes me feel a little better(sorry).

I also had to pay $100 deductible with my insurance.

It was a $100 oops

I have observed the price of doing this job to vary widely by zip code. The cheapest I have heard of using the OEM Sekurit glass is $300 at Safelite. Some quotes in the bigger metropolitan cities have been in the $600 area.

When you have this done, make absolutely sure that your dashboard is covered during the installation. Bring a thick towel and put in on the dash before you even hand over the keys. A professional installer should know to do this but many are cocky or lazy.
It is very easy to cut the dash during this procedure. Inspect the dash very carefully afterward and consider taking pictures before hand.

Excellent idea on the towel! The shop I use for glass is very good. I've had them do glass in everything from an Opel GT to every piece of glass in my 951. Never had an issue because my aunt is a VP there, It helps.

I buffed it out this morning and it cleaned up quite a bit. Then I hit it lightly with a spray can of black and it looks pretty good (at least good enough for a race car!)

Looks great!

I wonder what a really good paintless dent removal guy could do with that. Looks like you hit flush.

Yeah, it was mostly a side-scrape so it might be a fairly easy repair. I'll look into a more permanent repair after racing this weekend. For this week, the goal was to slop some makeup on and cover it as best I could!
