    That sounds good. I'm sure that can be fixed for $2500 (or less) if there's no structural damage (which it doesn't look like there is).

    Yeah I can get it fixed for way cheaper than that by either getting it pulled or replacing the whole quarter for $500 or less a new quarter is only $280
    & I have a friend that is awesome at metal work that would do it if I ask for free but I'd pay him since I have the money to

    The repop quarter is not really suitable for collision repair. I would repair the quarter you have.

    Thanks for the input Craig, I haven't decided which way to go yet fixing my quarter or replacing the whole quarter, in your opinion are the repop quarters just junk? or would you just not go thought the trouble of replacing the whole quarter because of how much trouble it is and the minimal damage to mine?
    body work is not my forte lol

    In MY opinion, the repop quarters are similar....but not even close to the factory shape. The fit and finish are just not there. I would search high and low for a factory quarter panel before I would ever settle for a repop quarter. But that is MY opinion.

    But looking at your picture....your quarter can be fixed.
