I'm very sick about this.

Read Dwayne's thread about the front cover removal and repaint - best tutorial on that subject that I've seen. An S4 isn't all that different from the earlier styles on these disassembly procedures.

I don't see this at Dwayne's Garage site. Is it at RL maybe?

Found it at RL

Did the same thing on my 81 about 15 years ago, came back from getting my eyes tested and still dilated, and hit the garage corner in exactly the same place! Front cover sprang right back out and only needed some minor touch up. Good luck with the repair.
