Rear Quarter Panel

shoopajae10 · 08-16-2010, 01:28 PM

the damage done to the quarter panel is not as extensive as it sounds.. it looks like someone judo chopped the side with his hands. ill post up the pics later tonight. maybe the shop can just fabricate the quarter panel and straighten it out and repaint? or is it better to completely replace the unit?

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.
