Rear Quarter panel damage. Ever had it? How much to repair? Pics? how much am I looking at if its all dented in around the wheel.
it wont be cheap. unibody sucks in that regard... unlike the front, the rear body panels just don't unbolt like fenders do. there's a lot of cutting and welding required to replace them.

My rear quarter had some dents in it from nailing a guard rail. I had them fixed. I guess it depends on the extent of the damage.

It depends on who does the work. My dad in all his glory ran my moms mustang over with the motorhome once, lol ( That sounded so white trash) we thought it was a goner but the auto body shop pulled the entire thing out with the little hook method and a slide hammer. Great work, the onlye thing that got replakced was a taillight.........

Eh. You might be okay. With mine I was rear ended and it folded both rear 1/4 panels.

If its not too bad, then it should be fixable. It'll just cost a hell of a lot to do.

Well, hopefully something goes right and the guys insurance pays.
A good body shop could straighten that.
doesnt a dealership offer quarter panel skin replacements?
if not, just 3 words. WIDE BODY KIT.
