86GT rocker panel damage help
Hi,
I very slowly pulling out of my Base's new parking lot hit a curb on my passenger side rear rocker panel area. Can anyone with experience take a look at the photos and tell me what's going on? Is there any structural damage? PDR Costs? Bodyshop Costs? I'd really prefer to do PDR versus bodyshop. https://imgur.com/RZmLXlr https://imgur.com/ap3xDVe https://imgur.com/SrhqgdR https://imgur.com/o0RPONt |

the paint is cracked/flaked off, and heavily scratched. PDR really shouldn't be an option here.

Ya not a candidate for PDR I am afraid.
It is need paint. Through insurance that is probably around $2,000 in most of Canada Out of pocket between $800 and $1,500 depending on the shop. Prices may vary depending o region and quality but those are some safe ball park figures. In comparison this was $2,400 through insurance and they would have done for $1,200 cash or $1,800 with receipt and warranty.

90% of the twins that have side skirts are because they have damage to the rocker. Myself included.

Honestly I screwed up and drove slightly over a curb on one side in a dark parking lot on a rainy night once. Usually super careful. The sideskirt I had got broken and I got a little one inch or so crease/"dent" in the button of my rocker. I never had it fixed.
I think it's important to make sure the paint is still intact (mine was as far as I could tell), and if it isn't then definitely get it repainted or touched up to avoid rust. But after that, . I just bought a replacement sideskirt to go over it. I still cry myself to sleep about it on occasion but shit happens. And nobody ever knows it's there.

No way is that even remotely close to PDR. That needs to be repaired. You're looking at about 7-9 hours repair time (thanks to that nasty indent on the edge) plus R&I's and then blending of the front door as well. **EDIT ** There should be no structural damages, at least none that I can see or would expect to see Is that a tri-stage paint? If so, blend times/paint times are higher as well. I am going to take a stab at $1,700 depending on the shop and depending on tri-stage or not. Also depending on anything additional that may be found after DFR (disassemble for repair)

Yeah that's how I am about it too. Still remember the loud bang/crack of my car hopping and falling on the curb. Worst thing ever.

The sound of my front end being swiped off by a guardrail will not be one I will forget either. This is when I damaged my rocker. You can kind of see it here behind the mud. I wasn't too concerned with it relative to the other damage.

I had my rocker panel repaired @ Vaughan fine touch, 7 Caldari Rd, Concord, ON L4K 4N8 back in 2017 under 800. Exact same damage if not worse in the exact same place, they did a first rate job on mine. I would go back to them anytime. The blending job on the paint was perfect for me. After that is when I went and bought side skirts, cheaper to replace them than body work.

I feel your pain, I did a similar thing same area, same side on my WRBP brz a few years ago.
I got a bunch of quotes from $800 - $3500(shop wanted to remove the door and R/I the window etc. Chose a shop that is very reputable in my area, $1200 without going through insurance. Cant tell it was ever touched. [IMG][/IMG] |

I have a couple dents and a little crease on my BRZ rocker - which were there when I bought it. I’ve been contemplating how to handle it as well.
While we’re on the topic - anyone suggest skideskirts that would best blend with the original front and rear bumpers on BRZ or FRS? Guessing TRD, maybe Baruta? |
