Oopsie Daisy! What's this going to cost to repair? HPDE Misadventure

[Biggus Dickus]

ACS Roval today, and on the last session ("bonus session"), my car went straight as I was trying to go left which resulted in an assault on my PP2 splitter by a big orange traffic cone. So I'm out on the straight and my hood starts fluttering over 130, which was weird 'cause it didn't do that all day. Then I saw this which explains why all that air was getting under my hood. Here's the damage (which I actually have a perverse sense of pride in since it happened on the track).

Thanks for your input!

It doesn’t look like a lot of damage. See what a body shop would charge to fix this cash. That way there’s not a hit on your car fax.

Should only be Push pins and U Clips.. if the bumper has broken in a few areas, then some fabrication might be needed.
My Wheel liner used to flap and hit the tire all the time, eventually wearing a hole..
You’ll need to remove the bumper, which is a pain if you haven’t done it before and already broken the side mount clips.. LOL

I hope the bumper is ok - I think it is because this was car vs. traffic cone and I think traffic cone went for a little ride under the splitter until it shook loose.

Thanks for the input

It doesn't look too bad. I would raise the car and drop the PP2 lower and upper splitters. See what sort of damage happened in there. Looks like some fasteners pulled through holes or tabs may have got broken. You should be able to fix that up easy.

One of these victory marking decals may be appropriate for your bumper now, or outside your "cockpit" if you're into decals:

Where can I get one those? That is great! I'm not into decals, but those I would put on my car.

And thanks for the reply.

That just looks like the clips got ripped off and the bumper extension came loose. All you need to do is replace those clips and back as new (well with a few scratches underneath but noone can see that).

I just see missing clips and looks like everything will snap back in place.

Fellow forum member 1 Old Racer and I are going to tackle it tomorrow morning. He has a lift in his garage. Report to follow.

 

[Deleted member 69033]

A lift for my barn is definitely on my short list of things I want.... They make life so much easier. My barn only has a 9 ft cieling tho, but still beats jacking a car up.

Good luck.
