A. Get car dirty, very dirty so it is hard to see the rocker panel bend.
B. Take to CarMax or any other dealer.
C. Try and trade it in on another car and hope when they evaluate your cars worth they dont notice the damage.
D. If you get acceptable offer accept it.
E. Get new car and be happy :)

:lol:

I briefly entertained the idea of getting side skirts but as others have mentioned, the cost of the whole kit + installation would rival the cost of repair, plus I would feel weird leaving that area damaged. Just looking for a good So Cal paint shop atm.

Will probably pay out of pocket since my deductible is $500, so it might not be cost effective to get insurance involved (although my record is clean and I doubt my rate would increase by thaat much). Thanks for the input everyone!

Even if your rate didn't increase the repair would go on the car's record so if you can swing out of pocket it is probably best for sure.

Would a V3 Rocket Bunny side skirt cover that?

Pretty sure that OP has had this fixed in the almost two years that have gone past since it happened!

Fun Fact: There will probably still be more answer the first post!

everyone is suggesting PDR as a repair in this thread and that really inst an option as the paint is already broken and the crease is pretty bad right there. $1,100 is a good quote for that repair i can tell you if you came to my shop (yes different area) it would be double that, hopefully the shop you chooses does good work and you cannot tell they painted the panel.
