Little bender, what do I do?

youngmstng · November 8th, 2008, 02:11 PM

So I was in a tight space leaving my brothers place. As I was cutting past this wall cause I trying to cut past this car too. The damn space getting out was so tight I knocked my mirror off as I turned and scraped and dented my drivers side rear panel. I have pictures but I havent uploaded them yet. Its not bad but its definitely noticeable. While I was home I bought a mirror from autozone for about $55 and had it installed for $20. I just havent figured out what to do with the panel though. The scrapes and dents our right there above the wheel centered. I thought maybe I could get the dents removed and get it paint over the scratches but my girl is just telling me I might just have to replace the whole panel.

haha replace the panel, naw man if anything a body shop will have to re prep it and paint it. how bad are the scratches? it might just be able to be buffed out.

Yeah deffinitly try to take some pics of it. I highly doubt it it is bad enough to warrent a quarter panel replacement.

At the most its probably gonna be some bodywork and the quarter repainted. But like Johnson said, they might be able to buff out.

HMUSN · November 8th, 2008, 03:58 PM

I had almost the same damage as you. I got a quote of around $600 to fix it.

Freaki · November 9th, 2008, 11:39 PM

is your damage anything like mine in this thread?

rear quarter panel??

If so i'm sorry lol

youngmstng · February 26th, 2009, 04:26 PM

Okay I finally have a pic. This is what it looks like.

WLJohnson05 · February 26th, 2009, 04:29 PM

a shop is going to have to bang out the dents and sand the panel down and leve it out and repaint it. looks like ur side spoiler is gonna need some work too...

travis_afx · February 26th, 2009, 08:34 PM

Yep, you will have to get some bodywork done to the quarter panel and get it repainted. And if the scoop is damaged it will need to be repaired and painted also.

When a deer ran into my diver front fender they body shop poped the dent out best they could, then filled the left over with "body filler"... sanded and painted and it looks just like it did. Now, if you KNOW it's been worked on you can see the difference in the metal of one fender and the filler of one. However, if you are not lookin hard it looks just fine. Cost me $250 and it was fixed.

Just run by a few body shops and get some quotes.
