When it first happened

After new tail light

Would Overfenders cover enough of the damage??

or should i jsut get a new chassis??

TKfoshori · 12-10-2006, 11:46 PM

overfenders would cover most of it, but the frame isnt bent, just rock the dent like a balla!

DJPimpFlex · 12-11-2006, 12:03 AM

yea just rock it like that, no problems driving it I assume. Look at georges old car, that thing was 3 times as banged up lol.

chmercer · 12-11-2006, 12:13 AM

get chargespeed overs, they go do the edge. you can fix anything left over with some filler. but why not try to knock it out a little bit at least, easy to reach that area from the back.

but of course, you need a new taillight trim piece, and trunk

where in socal are you located. R. Rabe could fix that good for you, if you are in socal. One of the best known painters in the industry. He could fix everything and toss on some over fenders so that it fits flush and such.

that doesnt look THAT bad, you could atleast take out some of the major damage and either bondo the rest or overfender.

fromxtor · 12-11-2006, 04:09 AM

Go at it with a dent puller, primer, then throw on the chargespeeds. They offer the most coverage in overfenders.

KiDyNomiTe · 12-11-2006, 09:28 AM

Most 50mm fenders should cover most of the area, but it leaves some room.

Origin

Get a slide hammer and a screw attachment thing and pull it out as much as you can, fill the rest. On the rear of mine I had like this ripple, not sure what happened there, but some filler and sanding it down smoothed it down.

Werd. Richard is the bomb! If he has time to fix it for ya!

Looks like it's been fixed once before as I see some filler. May as well do it again. Good excuse for overfenders.

SoSideways · 12-11-2006, 11:39 AM

Your car looks just like my fiance's car lol But much lower.

drew935 · 12-11-2006, 12:49 PM

It'll buff out

overfenders for a faster fix.

drftwerks · 12-11-2006, 01:59 PM

yea, im in nor cal, the fenders sounds like it will do the trick, ad yea haha i might as well try and fix some damage on my own

Jefferson · 12-11-2006, 02:18 PM

All you really need to fix is that edge/corner where it meets the trunk if your getting overs. Althoough it might look a little goofy, overs on stock wheels

drftwerks · 12-11-2006, 02:25 PM

i gots plenty wheels to fit overs

ledzeppelin240 · 12-11-2006, 02:44 PM

Wow, thats ugly man. I would just find a new chassis, but I am also very picky about body damage. It all depends on what you are using the car for and if you are cool with whatever else is damaged/tweaked.

drftwerks · 12-11-2006, 04:15 PM

not much else is damaged, the guard rail scraped the top of the bumper, so no real strutual damage is present

ledzeppelin240 · 12-11-2006, 04:54 PM

Well put some overfenders on there then and call it a day.

My rear fenders on my car have quite a few dents and stuff, so I have decided to go with over fenders, plus i can now fit some wide rims/tires in the back.
