Is this part of the rear fender replaceable? As in, is it something I can do myself?

I'm gonna throw this one out in case it's relevant.

My wife scraped the hell out of the side view mirror on our Odyssey in a parking lot a few years ago, just before we traded it in. Somebody recommended to use a degreaser/polishing compound to see if it made a difference and it really did. Like a huge amount. It didn't fix the scratches, but it removed the paint and crud from inside the gouges of the plastic and made the scratches nearly invisible unless up close.

Might be worthwhile to see if you can at least make it liveable. Good luck!

Oh it looked a lot worse haha. This is before I used a polishing compound to remove all the paint from the concrete pillar I scraped on. Essentially what's left is showing where the truck's paint was scraped off the plastic of the fender flare. I also took a picture of it in the most revealing/unflattering light possible but it doesn't look quite this bad in most lights.

this is exactly why those parts are unpainted plastic, imo. easy and (relatively) cheap to repair
