considering the car is still brand new, if the body shop can do it well... id prefer a new unit. with new wheel and new suspension.. =)


oh and thanks Big J for the info.
The only way to repair it correctly is to replace the whole quarter panel piece with a new one, unless the dent can be massaged out. But that's not a possibility if there are any deep scrapes or creases.
