Hit in the parking lot, damage to clear bra. Thoughts?

But a $500 deductible is very common in MI. Michigan is a no-fault state and until a year or so ago the mini-tort limit was $500 (It's $1k now). So most people seem to tend to get a $500 deductible for collision and often match that for comp.

argh!

I don't think anything happened to your paint. I hit a big tire debris once, it broke the bottom grill and mess up the clear bra on the bumper. I tried using Premier PF1 TTR (works wonder) to remove some of the rubber marks but the hit was so hard that I couldn't removed them. I had the clear bra replace and yup, was just the clear bra.

You can try TTR to see if you can remove the black marks. I would use a hairdryer, x-acto knife (careful here with the paint), baby shampoo solution, and alcohol solution to remove that damage area. If you're going to have the pro replace the clear bra, they may charge extra to take the current one off (ask them first, if so just remove it yourself with the hairdryer). Good luck
