Darn, Velocity was closed on saturday, this saturday, while in a hurry in pacific, I totally scratched my back rear fender,

how much you think this will run me at either Dat's place, Velocity, Car Tech or Philada...... or other any other recommneded places?

 

pefect timing tak it to my place they wioll charge for that and instlal the lip
300 bucks

 

not a fender, that is a quarter panel. ~$750. looks like your bumper was scraped a bit also. add another $350 or so.

 

pefect timing take it to my place they will charge for that and install the lip
300 bucks

 

I would clean it and survey the actual damage not the left over concrete.
I would probably see if you can just get it blended on the edge and sanded for $100 and be done with it

 

damn.. where is 'my place' ... looks like the whole quarter panel will have to be repainted. i know a pretty good guy too... but it still cost me 300$ cash just to do the front bumper, i would have thought this would have been well above 500$.

 

i would never trust a "guy i know can do it cheap" place for paint and body work...it's not a 96 chevy cavalier. go to a reputable place and have it done right and pay what it is worth.

 

Yes, I agree. If the whole q panel needs paint the side window should be removed too. Otherwise there will be a ridge where the paint stops there since the window moulding can't be peeled back for painting.

 

carlesi automotive see's this stuff all the time. they'll make it look like new guarantee'd. let me know if you want i'll grab the number and make an appointment. they're located in concord.

 

that looks like alot of paint though try using scratch x or one of those scratch removers. it usually works realyl well on those

 

Hey guys just an update, that pic is actually after scratch X, bad eh!!

Anyhow Godzilla's place is actually a good place, the $300 deal was a one off for a different type of car, they actually quote about the same as CarTech, I heard a lot of good things about Car Tech and my friend actually knows them.

I went with Car Tech , cause Godz's place couldn't take my car until next week.
Without me asking, they noticed the OEM 3M guard type on the side and are going to replace that as well.

So things look good so far, will see what happens.

 

damn... i didn't know godzilla had a shop... hook us up with a name and number. i'll bring my future business to u if your not out of the way!

 

Hey --

I just did the same damn thing

What did you end up doing and how much did it cost? I actually had the bevel that sticks out around the tire get pushed in right where the 3M guard is so I dont know if I need a new qtr panel or if they can pop it out. Such a dumb mistake. Thought I had the concrete post cleared.. damn tight underground lots!

Let me know how yours went -- I need suguestions!
