While on vacation. Sigh.  Sitting at a drive through the car behind me wasn't paying attention and she let her Mercedes idle into me. The damage is minimal but the lower black panel needs to be replaced. It looks pretty easy.  Anyone swap theirs out yet?  She said she will cover the cost. But if I can avoid a body shop is prefer that.

Sorry that happened to ya. I almost took the valence off when I blacked out my exhaust, but didn't want to risk breaking any of the clips. However, since you are replacing it, it should be fairly simple. There are some clips, and a few bolts holding it on if I believe. Probably take longer to jack the car up and find the tools than to take it off.
