Looks to be around $100-$150 to refinish and repaint them both at the dealership my dad works at. I don't trust myself to do that kind of bodywork. A couple of the scratches are fairly deep, so they won't buff out, and a bit too wide to even consider touch up paint. And of course there's no security cameras, and of course whoever did it didn't leave any contact information.
Car's still getting 90+ mpg but she's scarred right now, and her rear corner doesn't look pretty anymore  |
That sucks!
I'd try popping out the dent in the lower plastic piece as soon as possible. It might want to keep the dent if it's there for a couple of months.
