Paint damage
So, after I took the glamor shots shown in my other thread, I was driving around and took a turn a bit too sharp (it was into a roundabout that was WAY too small in diameter for anything but a Smart Forttwo) and ended up on the curb for an instant. I was worried sick that I had damaged something immeasurably, but the car drives straight and all I got was a bit of road rash.
You can't even see these scrapes if you're standing less than 3 feet from the car because of the curvature of the vehicle, but I want to get this fixed soon. Any idea what it would cost at an auto body shop, and/or would this be a simple repair w/ touchup paint and clearcoat?
Any help much appreciated!

That my friend is one of the few FIBERGLASS pieces on the car. Take it to anyplace and get it fixed. 
Remember... These cars are cheap to fix.. just ask people here to save yourself money. DONT TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.
I won't go into how this is all your fault
