Damnit!

@#$^%*&^%$@$!!!!!

My Cayman is barely a month old and I already scratched it... Coming around a corner in a hurry tonight, saw a small-ish object in the road, looked like a white paper cup or bag (size of a paper cup). No time to swerve, hit it and it made a loud noise. When I got out of the car a couple blocks away at home, notice I had put a deep (maybe a quarter inch at the deepest), six or so inch long, very horizontal scar just underneath the air intake on the passenger side, at the bottom near the wheel. Turns out it was a rock or similarly hard object in the absolute middle of the road. Tore the clearbra that comes on the car from the factory near the rear wheels.

Pretty upset by this, hugely pissed off that someone would leave such an object in the road, and doubly upset at myself for hitting it. I think if I carefully cut the scarred piece of clearbra off and take a permanent marker to the gouge in the plastic, it will hide ok for the time being, but anyone have any ideas as to what kind of repair bill I'm looking at to actually fix this the right way?

Thanks...
