Any way to save it??

Yeah yeah...180 spin didn't end up quite how I wanted it. Car in ditch. Rocky or something obviously. It was on base.

So I left ASAP without getting out of the car. Didn't see the damage until I got home yesterday.

This is after 2 different rubbing compounds, glaze, and wax. It looked way worse before I did that.

A little bit of the bottom edge of the SLP grill has rash on it too.

What's the best way to go about making this look new again. It sucks seeing my car this way now.

you have paint missing, no amount of rubbing compoud or waxing will fix that

Follow these three easy steps to fixing your car:

Step #1: You take it to the shop;
Step#2: You say, "fix this;"
Step #3: You pay them $200.

Voilà! Good as new!

But, in all seriousness, NBM Camaros look very good grilless. Now would be the time to take off the grille and have them fill and paint the holes, if you like that look. Not to capitalize on your misfortune, but you could sell your grille to me and that would take care of some of the cost.

yeah its basically they have to sand all that down and put a plastic filler is any places that dont sand out. prime it, block it, wetsand it, scuff the rest, base and clear or blend and buff the blend.
