Looks like OP already sold his stock tires, presumably has something with more grip now.

Pretty easy to screw up when the tires are hard as a rock though. Doesn't take much. It was so cold here a while back that even my snow tires firmed up to the point that I almost lost it on an onramp.

Looks like BFG sport comp2 a/s from the bit of tread I can see...

Me too, I was expecting pictures of the Space Needle, Mount Rushmore, Old faithful.
:brokenheart:


Smacking a curb was a twist.

Oh so you smacked a curb not the "road". That makes more sense.
If you do not go through insurance it will not show up on a report. An aftermarket spoiler will not cover that damage and probably wouldn't fit properly anyway.
Cool. Thank you

While we are talking about repair, does anyone know of any DIY auto shops in the Portland area? I asked in the PNW forum, didn't get much. There must be seomthing up with way with rental space and tools.

@Ultramaroon 's house. I have been in his garage and if doesn't have what you need to fix something in there then it doesn't exist.

Word has it that ol @Ultramaroon has a garage over across the river, he will rent out.

Caution ...... his base price is reasonable ..... but, everything else is ah-la-cart:

* electricity
* tools (by the tool)
* heat
* light
* water
* rags/paper towels
* if you want the door closed
* access to the lounge
* restroom access
* internet access
* weekend sir charges

And, of course, he will be available for consultation ....... to tell you how you are doing it all wrong.

:D

PS .... OK, I'm late ...... again ...... it's hard to keep up with you working people ......:iono:

Thank you guys!
Well, that's a shame ...... :sigh:

I reckon your plan of action would depend on your insurance situation.

I don't think your SO's hair dryer and some touch up paint will fix it.

I don't know if a PRD person can re-mold that bumper or not.

NOW, the next time you take us on a tour ...... I'll expect some better pictures ...... ;)

Looking closer, looks like the bumper is warped and mangled. I think OP is looking at needing a replacement unless there are repair methods I'm not aware of. Or that could just be how the 86 bumper looks to begin with... :iono:

Paint might be new enough to get it prepainted to save on masking/blending costs.
