Yea, their shops are always next to suburban home neighborhoods, where all the wives and mothers live.

Central Illinois here. I have a family friend that has a body shop. Mixed me up some paint for the rear bumper last time. But this is more than a touch up job

Light isn't the problem. Got looking at everything and she tweaked the bumper mount so there is a gap between the bumper and the light. New lens isn't fixing that. Thank you for the offer though, I appreciate it.
easily fixed with a little elbow grease

Oh yeah done it before. Just one of those, " wouldn't have to do it if someone was paying attention " things.

Similar situation happened to me years ago with my Tahoe. It tweaked one of the front bumper mounts. I beat the hell out of it--threatened and cursed at it a few times, then I said screw it. To this day you can't even tell.

So was in Walmart yesterday and the wife decided she didn't want to stand in line to check out and said she was going to the Tahoe to wait..... a few minutes later the daughter and I have the following conversation.
Daughter: Uhoh
Me: What's wrong kiddo
Daughter: ummm how are you feeling?
Me: Fine why?
Daughter: I'm apparently not supposed to say anything, but mom got in a wreck.
Me: What are you talking about? She went out to listen to music and wait. She left like 3 minutes ago.
Daughter: I'm just the messenger.
Get to parking lot....
I'm done. Told her if she wants it fixed she can make the money and pay for it.
I may try to pull the inner panel and push it out some, but as for painting or real body work I don't care. The conversation on the way home did it for me. I said I was upset because it was our nice vehicle, ( it is virtually rust free). Her response was " it's not like it is a 60k dollar vehicle we only paid 20k for it."
