What an idiot!
So I was backing my X up in the garage just to get a little more room to do an oil change... remember to close the door!!

It was bent pretty bad... I managed to get it somewhat straight again. Any one think this is something a DIYer can fix paint wise or should I bring it to a shop?

Oh man... I was thinking it could be something I paint just so it doesn't rust, but I guess I will have to take it to an Indy shop and get a price quote.

Can you fix that? Sure you can slap some paint on it. Will it look good? Highly doubtful and it will still be bent. I would take it to a reputable body shop.

if youre worried about rust, i would put some painters tape over it for now. just so you dont make it hard to paint later on
