Fixable?
Think it's fixable? Or does it need a new QP?
What you think that can run? I know a new QP is around 500$ and some change. I'm not worried about paint currently just let me know what you think. |

Short answer...No. QP will need to be replaced...you could try and "Fix" it but i doubt with all the various angle's and dents you'll get it smooth again. And are you getting $500 based on deductible? Because it's definitely going to cost more than that...

No, I never said that's the full fix price. I'm saying 500$ is around the price I can pay for a unpainted QP. Again QP would have to be cut, welded, etc. I'm asking what that fixing price should be around so I'm not being ripped off.

Oh okay i was going to say i would question the work at that point if it's not through insurance at that point for $500. To be honest it varies with what bodyshop your going through but i would say because of the labor involved easily around $2K would be a starting estimate...

I had less damage than you on one of my quarter panels and the several shops I talked to all agreed it was more cost efficient to replace it.

I would be a little concern that your gas tank wasn't effected by whatever happened to your car. It took about two months to get my whole tank unit to be solved.

Well, in my case it was part of a much bigger job so it's hard to extrapolate. I think you might be looking at $1500-$2000 for parts+labor+paint... but don't quote me on it :P
