Some of you may remember the post I made about a week ago, I had a rear tire blow out on my coupe and it took out half the side of the car. I called nissan today to see if i can get a replacement quarter panel skin. And i can!

for about 500 bucks for the skin, and 300 to put it on, the best unknown body shop guy in town will put it on. woo hoo! pics to follow!

Congratulations.

why not go to a junk yard and do shit yourself.

I thought you were going to say you just saved a bunch of money on your car insurance by switching to Geico.

That's expensive for a quarter panel, and cheap as hell for labor. Good luck.

yeah i got my 1/4 panel from a salvage yard for a lil less than $300, but along with all the labor, minor parts and painting the whole car it cost me another $2K
good luck

the only thing is there are no coupes in junkyards within about 50 miles. factor in the amount of time it will take to travel to a junkyard, with the cost, its about the same as me getting one from my local dealership, in NEW condition, at a cut cost due to the fact I know the parts guy. Works out good!

I think Im going to have the body shop guy fix the rest of the dents in my car while hes at it.

Damn.. I guess great minds really DO think alike!

I literally just bought the passenger rear quarter for $75 dollars. We cut it off with a sawzall, went in a foot cut threw the trunk area and came out right next to the license plate. So far the cheapest Ive found to get it on is $500, and that includes factory super black. None of that helps anyone just figured I'd share.
