Good news, inner rocker panel didnt even take damage. They said there's a massive gap between the 2 and that's why it dents so easily.

The paint match is spot on ! the only thing is the gravel guard, which loooks alot newer than the gravel guard on the quarter panel and always has a bit of peel on top, he said these will fall off over time.. what do you guys think?

that gravel guard job looks atrocious and the color match is pretty terrible, id honestly go back to the shop and have them fix the poor quality job.

I had multiple people with me see it in person and it looked indistinguishable. Can't expect it to be perfect .. the gravel guard job is bad but what can ya do

If you paid 400 for that, you got a steal!

you can expect it to be perfect though, I can tell you that car would not leave my shop like that. it should be fixed for no extra charge for you.

c'mon, for 400$ thats amazing, you would never notice the gravel guard.

good to see its back the way it once was!!

For $400 I would walk away with a smile on my face for that job! The pic puts the whole focus on it but I bet in person nobody would ever even notice the guard. Colour match looks fine to me as well.

FK that is pro! No one looks at gravel guards and the ones that do are mostly tire kickers and dudes. If it were a girl complaining i'd probably care, not if a dude does.
