Bonehead move, damage incurred, how much did I mess up?
I kissed (smacked?) the garage door threshold last night getting home from work? How bad is this? Is the broken trim piece a standalone part or one piece with the entire front end?

Unfortunately, it looks like one piece. Here's a video where the guy takes it off:

Thanks! The piece I'm concerned about is actually two separate pieces. My pics aren't good. I'm going to the dealer after work to order what I need. Fingers crossed!
Chris Evans…. I have followed your sad event from your initial post and I feel your pain every inch of the way. Your car has fallen from grace in one fell swoop. To be so suddenly damaged by something so special that you’ve waited for, and probably loved, is akin to abandonment. Abandonment which is only enhanced by the lack of empathy and care from the mother ship, MB of North America. You are damaged from this..and all of us are damaged as well. We put our lives in these cars, along with the company that manufactures them, with the utmost trust. Separately, we have a microcosm of humanity gone awry right here on our forum. It sadly parallels how our very country has changed so swiftly.
Your car’s essence is gone for you. It will never be the same. PTSD is far reaching. Your car should be taken back immediately, without further question. And you should be reimbursed for damage now and what might be ahead. Many of us will be here to help you in possible collective ways. Please keep us apprised.

@Nonformulaic
im sure this response was not intended for this thread, and normally I wouldn't care. However your message is poignant and very thoughtful and the recipient deserves/should read it (unless you're in the correct thread and your response is purely cynical/sarcasm... )
Thx so much for the correction, PeterUbers. It was the middle of the night…I had awakened, thinking about the support Chris Evans is probably in need of. My puny lame excuse for posting in the wrong thread! I made the correction just now. Thanks again.
