Default woke up to a dent on my back left panel!!

From the looks of the rear panel its gonna be a b**** to replace. The panel stretches all the way to the hood! What should I do!! All my money IV spent on this dang lude, im so bummed!! Its a 93 btw. Should I try a plunger? Do you guys know if i can just remove the interior quarter panel and just hammer that sucka out? I don't wanna remove it for nothing. 93 prelude s

there's another layer of metal on the inside that'll block most access to the outer part. i think honda still sells quarter panels (~$400+ from memory). you'd have to cut the bad part out, weld in the new panel, and repaint. check hondapartsnow.com

depending on exact location and how bad it is, a shop could probably fix it without the new panel too.

Omg this makes me just wanna junk my lude lol. The dents right between my back windsheild and my little rear quarter window(4th Gen prelude) and gradually gets bigger along the trunk line. I know it's pointless for me to explain exactly where without a picture as a reference but idk how to add a pic, im using my phone.

I was afraid of that! do you know 100% that there's a layer of metal cause Im really tempted to pull the panels off and bang away. I want this thing gone!!
