If you are handy with sandpaper, bondo, and rattle can paint, you can always give this a try if you want to repair it.

That sucks big time. Nice curb rash too. Haven't scratch my stockies yet (knock on wood). But I park about a feet away from the curb lol. Ain't taking no chances!

That sucks OP! I know the feeling and it is very frustrating.

I curbed my aftermarket wheels twice on my old car and my OEM's once on the TL (I guess that's not too bad since it spans @ 7 years). I am extremely careful now and take turns extra wide, as well as take advantage of the folding down mirrors when backing in.

Fortunately it can be fixed and shows that you can never be too careful.
