last night some one hit my car and took off bastards they hit the bottom rear left hand side of quarter panel, I would post pics if I had a camera but Ill just be as accurate and discriptive as possible, the area of impact is pretty deep but luckly there was no damage to the frame, QUarter pannels can be fixed but for how much? Becasue to replace it wouldnt it be alot more expensive and harder to do for the repair facility to handle??

If its not too bad you should be able to get it popped out, my old car had a pretty bad quarter panel dent and trying to pull it cost around $300 or so but it was still pretty bad. The quote for welding in a whole new quarter panel was alot higher, forget the actual price though.

I can pop out some stuff from where the middle of the wheel well is at but where the lower corner of the pannel is at its really crunched in there. One question for a hit and run there is nothing the Insurance can about it

??? I would attemp to do it my self but that corner that go most of the impact is really smashed in there, 300bucks for the body shop to do it is cool but most body shops take 2 days to do work like that huhh??? that sucks having you're beater car as a daily and when shit happens like this you gota waste time and miss work just to get it fixed dammnnn.
