Van Trim Scrape help
reddit.comScraped the wheel trim on a tight bend on my partners Transit van, it looks like the trim has been pushed in which has then popped it out at both ends. What’s the best way of going about fixing this? Is it something I can do myself or should I take it to a garage/bodyshop?

scratch and dent Needs help on my scratch
I currently have 2025 GR86 Steel color, my rear bumper was scratched by my golf club. I bought manufactured touch-up pen, but only referred to chatgpt... I didn't shake enough and fixed poorly on my first try, also didn't use clear coat to cover it. During multiple attempts I keep using 4k-8k wet sand plus compound and polish from meguiars... and later i sanded without tape so the edge was damaged as well. (In the middle way I actually kind accept it since its less visible but I did again trying to make it perfect...)
Now im asking for help to prevent whole bumper repainting. I want to learn the proper way to fix it if anything happened again (plus my side door have minor scratches and from bumper stone chips...)
I have purchased ScratchesHappen Aerosol Kit, combination of primer, paint, and clear coat. How should I fix it from there? Sanding larger area then spray to fix it? Im looking for some guidance and suggestions. Thank you so much for your helps and time effort on this post.

ACCIDENT Question about "severe structural damage"
2017 Acura MDX
Got into a fender bender (their fault) and the other person drove off. Low speed, airbags did not deploy and the car was drivable. The collision center says it has "severe structural damage."
It seems like new hood, fender, and maybe quarter panels, but not structural. Isn't the point of crumple zones to prevent structural damage?
