Can you spot the $8K in damage?

Hint - it's not the wrap...

My best guess is in the headlight... crack!!!

Laser lights are a pretty penny.

Yep, and judging by the amount of damage to the wrap, I'm guessing someone likes to tailgate... Location checks out.

Ha! Not exactly. I don't drive it much in the winter and just noticed it two weeks ago when I walked up to the car in the parking lot. No idea when or where it happened.

So the total estimate was actually $8200 (light was ~$7K plus labor). And not counting any wrap work.

But what kinda sucks is the laser light is fine. Just the crack (sealed up with silicone) in the lens. I am going to ask to give me the light when they replace it. There must be a market for that bulb??

Insurance will pay, except possibly the deductible.

Replacement cost is literally a sobering amount. Thanks for sharing.

Bummer. Sorry to see, especially a local one. Hope to see you around on the road.
