Oh no, I dun messed up
Pulled into the garage and I felt I was crooked. So turned the wheel a bit and moved forward. Clipped the left side. Already ordered a replacement splitter. Going to see the body shop today.

So you swiped the garage going forward? Any damage is bad enough (I would almost be sick) but it could be worse. A good body shop will have the fixed.
Side note - are you running winter wheels? Looks like you have some meat on there haha. |

One of best ones I had was I reversed the car (a previous, not my Camaro) into the garage, forgot to set the hand brake, and watched it roll into my snowmobile LOL. Thankfully there was no damage to either, from what I recall.

Don't feel bad most of my dings/damage is done in the garage. Once a wall cabinet fell off the wall and hit the side of my 2004 Corvette which was pristine. Then while trying to get the car straight one day I was backing up with my drivers side door open so I could position it better and the door hit a standing cabinet and broke a piece off of the edge of the door. Fast forward to my Camaro and I opened my door and hit the handle to my vice which I had forgotten to swivel away to prevent contact and I put a ding in my door right next to my door handle where I would see it every time I got in the car. Luckily I had a PDR guy take the dent out. Sometimes I think I would do better to just leave it outside LOL.

Hey johnny, this is still better than me ramming the garage door in the SUV, backing out when the door wasn't yet open
 To prevent most garage mishaps (we have kids in the house), I stuck strips of these on the walls, and they have done excellent duty in preserving door edges and body parts: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071HFTRCH Also, I tend to maneuver very little or not at all in the garage, the doors are narrow and there isn't much space inside anyway.

Yeah those splitters definitely feel like they are going to tear off the bumper if you get the approach wrong on driveways or steep parking lots. Hope it is a painless fix.
