The picture doesn't show it well but there is a two inch cut in the metal. It wasn't just some paint damage.

That was the insurance company price. If paying my self I am sure it would have been less. The biggest part of the expense was blending the paint so that you could not see where the work was done. They ended up painting pretty much that whole side of the car to get the blend right. It was comprehensive coverage since the part was moving and hit me I didn't hit it so I only paid $100.

That's reassuring again, thank you!

If it was just a bumper or just replacing a part I would've done it myself. I've done an engine swap on my old Sentra spec v. If I do anything cosmetic, it turns into a disaster.

Back in my youth I did 3 frame off full restorations on old cars but there is not a hope in hell I would tackle these new ones with all the plastic. Plastic and I never seem to get along well.

Oh me too!! Had to make a "mesh grille" for my Sentra spec v, after ruining 3 grilles, tons of chicken wire, lots of tools and many cuts on mine and my girlfriends hands, we gave up. Every time I remind my girlfriend of that grille, she freaks out. She even told me that she had nightmares about it xD. Changing the radiator was a lot easier haha

Do they need to replace your bumper, weld in a new 1/4 panel/ change your tail light, straighten your crash bar and do any other hidden repairs that they need to do to his car? If not then the price doesn't mean a thing. Yours could be a couple of hundred dollars to fix.

That's for him not for me lol I doubt fixing a small dent on my car would cost anywhere near that price. I was just wondering about replacing JUST THE PANEL and not replacing crash bar and tail light etc.. you know out of curiosity in case if some how my quarter panel was damage more than just a dent since I know the panel is a huge part of the car not like fenders or cheap as the bumpers

Well an entire rear quarter is less than $500 a side. just the labor at that point and the paint

Yeah thats about normal. 700 for quarter, 400 for bumper, paint (not sure if this is tri coat or not), proper sectioning procedure, spot welding, bodywork. Its not cheap or easy
