wow, 2 hits in a row. :( sounds painful.

sounds like when my Z and dd got it by something during a charity drive on the same f-king day. :mad:
why i help people and yet get a slap in the face twice beats the hell out of me. :shakes head: :icon17:

That really sucks man. When they say they "guarantee" it will look like new does that mean that if they finish it and it still does not look like it should, they will fix it until it does for no extra cost? Or are they just saying that to get your business. Get something in writing to ensure it is fixed correctly.

Sideskirt, DMV incident, hopping a curb and backing into a rail. Dude's an accident magnet.

Call a Paintless dent removal company in the area, if you let a body shop "repair" this then your probably looking at a lot of body filler aka BONDO. Which could crack later and not look perfect.

Seriously check out a paintless dent removal company first, worst case they say its too extreme to fix, best case will be 1000 times better in the end when you only need paint and not bondo and paint.

Here's a video I found that hopefully will brighten your day and show you there are better alternatives-

I called the paintles dent removal and they said that since there is paint thats needs to be done they wouldnt be able to do it cause the dent is pretty big as well. sigh

damn dude... That car is getting F'ed up

Its honestly not that bad. as long as its the exxterior there are plenty of ways to get it fixed. As long as it drives its still my baby boo sugar poo

Call another one just to be sure :)

So how's the transmission (have you been grinding gears?)... You said you are learning to drive a stick in this car, you should have bought an old car that was a manual and practiced and then purchased your 35K sports car...

no gear grinds ever. Although my first gear is sometimes slightly jerky but no more stalling no gear grinds. Transmission is great and the Clutch is getting more feely as i drive more often. Thanks for asking =) I would tap rev on first gear to get rolling adn then sometimes i guess im letting the rmp fall like 100 too much and the car moves jerky and then i give it more gas i think im not giving it enough gas.

Sounds like you just need to get used to how much clutch to let out with the RPMs to match... I'm glad your tranny is good to go.
Change your oil before 1500 miles to get rid of the "break in" shavings and then your good to go :)

Might have something to do with the avi pic of you sitting on the hood of your car. The Nissan gods are not pleased

Hey when you gotta go, you gotta go... Oh he's sitting on the hood not something else that rhymes with sitting....

at least you dont have to blame yourself. I was backing out into my narrow driveway in front of the garage, saw there was still a bit room and although I was already able to get out without anything happen yet decided to back a bit more and SCRATCH!....200 bucks to fix.

You are looking at this all wrong... This is an opportunity flare out the rear quarters even more like project white dragon (that will never be finished).

LOL brettin. Thanks bro great advice.
SO update. Body shop said they will do EVERYTHING for 1700. Yay.
Now for the rear quarter panel they said there going to hammer it back into place, so reshape the metal, then bondo, then sand, prime, paint. Is that the usual process?
How do you even get to the rear quarter panel from what i know you have to get into the interior of the car, but from which place? Can then do it from the bumper area or are they going to have to go in from inside the car behind the seat?

There's going to be more disassembly than you think in order to get access to that area. Please take your time when deciding how you want to fix this. I know cost is a major concern to you right now, but bad body work is something you'll see every time you look at the car as long as you own it.

its not like they do bad work i mean there busy for a reason you know?
i told them to use the least amount of Bondo possible, and where do they start the disassembly from the exterior or interior from what i heard its the interior

Just because they have a lot of cars there doesn't mean they are "good" once I had a car rear enden me (08 Lancer) and I took it to this place where my insurance recommended the color looked great but after a few month water was apparently getting inside my trunk and rusting the panel underneath the spare tire, they wouldn't redo their work without charging me. It was a shop that you wold imagine would do great work, it was located in a great town with expensive cars there (Fort Lee). Read reviews on google and other sites to see if they are truly good as they claim to be.

hmm maybe ill just remove the tiny dent in bumper and replace tail light and fix quarterpanel then hopefully i can still do it for about 2k then ill leave the bumper as is and just order the brackets that might have broke. bumper isnt too bad.

Oh boy... I am still surprised a PDR tech couldn't shape this back so you could just have it repainted.

As for the body shop hammering out the dent, this is a very bad idea. Your car is going to look horrible. If you want to ensure your car is back to normal you either should go to car-part.com and see if you can find a new rear quarter panel and just repaint or PDR.

Otherwise if you don't take my advice I look forward to pics of your hammered out fender...
