    Believe it or not I did...

    As of now, if you look in the recently added pics on the main page, you will see 4 pics I uploaded. (also attached them into my original posting in this thread)

    2 of those pics show the damaged rear bumper and cladding.

    By the time my paint showed up at the shop yesterday it was too late to paint the bumper AND install.... I'm heading back there today to put everything back together.

    I'll post pics and give some explanations on repairing raw cladding later

    I finished the repairs to the rear damage... I estimate I saved at least $600 or more if left at a body shop.
    Unfortunately, I didn't take any "during" pics to illustrate how repairs were done... guess I have to keep some trade secrets...
    Also tinted the signal lamps and rear reflectors by adding a small amount of graphite black tint directly into some clearcoat. I'll eventually do the taillights and headlights the same way...

    Fantastic!

    I don't believe it though. You have to show me a little proof besides a before and after pic.

    Peace.
