Rear quarter panel replacement

So i have had the opportunity to get a pretty good deal on another Scion FRS but it has some nasty damage to the right side (door, rear quarter panel, rear bumper front quarter panel and front bumper with 2 rims and the passenger door mirror and glass). Because the car is a monocoque structure is there any way to replace the rear quarter panel without compromising the chassis of the car? I have seen some on here that say they have had it done and i know you can buy the part from scion (car comes with ALL the parts to repair it). Anyone have an idea on a cost to have this repaired (just the cost of the labor, mainly the rear quarter panel but if there is not much difference in price all of it). I don't care about resale value or warranty because i'm building this one into a track car so if i can buy one for cheaper with a salvage title thats more money to put into mods! I will only pay MAX 75% of the wholesale price to have the car on the road done.
thanks

They'll probably have to cut the panel out, weld in the replacement piece, prep it, then re-spray it. I had similar work done to my old 99 Accord coupe on the driver's side panel and if I recall it was around $2-3k. Keep in mind that's just for the quarter panel. Your best option is to get some pictures if you can and just go get some quotes from some body shops.

if ur gonna track it and want it fixed for cheap. just get the rep rocket bunny kit from of the the vendors and fix up to a certain point on the body and let the wide body kit cover the rest. cut out what u dont need. and get a carbon door on the passenger side.
( this is assuming ur going all out track with a trailer)

2015 BRZ

I JUST BOUGHT A 2015 BRZ about 5 months ago. I am anal about my cars. I stopped at the Subaru dealer to pick up a 20.00 part and when I came out some Lady smashed her rear into my 1/4 panel. Older Woman. I was furious. This was her 3rd accident in a month. She told me she didn't want to go through Insurance bc she would lose her license. I got a few estimates and it was over 4,400.
Since it is a new Car, they have to order a whole back 1/4 panel which comes with the frame attached and they have to cut the whole back off.
Not sure what they will do with this damage, but if they had to do what they are doing to my Car, I think you would be looking at 8 to 10,000.
Good luck. As long as the Car runs great, get the best price and get it done.

Well OP's post was from 2 years ago, so he's probably taken care of it or given up by now.
