I was leaving the school parking lot today and some girl wasnt paying attention and ran into the side of my car

Heres a few pix













Anyone know how much that will cost to get a new pannel?

 

There is no need for a new 1/4 panel. That is a VERY easy task for a good bodyman. A good bodyshop will probally charge 4-500.

The area first has to be repaired then the entire door, 1/4 will be blended/cleared.

 

Thankfully the door isnt messed up. Just the 1/4 pannel and back bumper... i kinda wanted a 98 rear bumper and tails.

 

yea cuz your car is a ugly wannabe car!! :D

At least i still have it j/p

ok that was fuked up

 

its cool, i wrecked mine a few times too


and im used to it, *** hole :/

 

Cost of that rear 1/4 is about 500 from acura....the only reason i know is because i replaced the same quarter on my 96 LS... I got the quarter replaced, and a dent on the hatch..plus some other small dents/scratches that were on the car and the entire car repainted for 2100...but i supplied the quarter.....because i used to work for a volvo dealer and we got small discounts off of the parts...i think i paid like 400 for the quarter...but i know it was retail for about 500..

 

i had the same exact damage on my civic and because i knew a bodyman he only charged me like 500 bucks and it came out looking better than stock

He doesnt need a new 1/4, buying a new one would be stupid. It is a very easy repair.

 

Im not worried about the money, i dont have to pay for it. But should i get a new pannel or see if someone can fix it?

 

So what happened to the girl?

 

Nothing really she just had a few scraches on her bumper that will probably rub off, she was in a infinite. I saw her walking out to the parking lot and it looked like she was in a pissed off mood. Next thing you know she wrecks into my car, she looked pretty upset after.

 

I bet her Gf broke up with her, and then she was wicked pissed cause she said she was too manly for her.

lol, but I meant, how heated were you towards her since she just plowed your car?

 

haha u drunk man?

Wait .. with Cash?? .. ghey

 

Her insurance company most likey wont allow a new 1/4. That is more time more money. It will be written up to repair the dent rather than replace.

 

Go through her insurance. Get an estimate from a dealership for $1500 or so. Get it fixed at a cheap local bodyshop for $500. Pocket the extra $1000.

 

looks good!

 

Its not that bad.

 

that's not too horrible, you don't have any creases and she didn't ruin your suspension.

This has worked for me multiple times. Just make sure that you get the $ from the girl's insurance company instead of them sending the $ to a bodyshop. And tell the local bodyshop that fixes it that you are paying for it out of pocket. Don't mention insurance at any point or they will charge you a lot more.

 

The girls mom told me that i can just go to a shop and get an estament and they will write me a check (they are pretty rich). So im just gonna get an expensive estament and take it to a cheaper shop.
