I was wondering how much would it cost to get a new rear quarter panel welded in place of the old one? Im talking about a 24x10 inch piece in place of the dented one.

So far, to get the dent fixed I have been quoted from 700-2000 dollars. I would much rather just replace the whole piece instead of getting it fixed.

Thanks.

i got my left hand rear panel, back bumper, and left taillight replaced and painted for only $250. what you have to do is send it to your insurance , that is if you got full coverage. then just say it happened at the market or some shit.

Well I have the actual non-damaged panel in my possesion. So now how much do you figure it would be to get the new piece welded in place of the old (keeping it unpainted).

painting is the cheap part ... Your car is black also so i mean it gets no easier than that. Its the cutting and other things that fall into play.


your still looking at 65 to 75% of the cost.
