Oh man, I've only had my G for about a month and I hit sumthin very late at night around 4 AM. I don't know what to do. Anyone know the cheapest and most efficient way to take care of this? Here are some pics. Yeah, I know it's hard to tell that it's a dent too, but believe me, it's a dent + scratches.

 

There isn't an inexpensive way to fix that... getting work done at good bodyshop would be the only way to properly fix that. The damage doesn't look too bad. I think it can cost you about $2-300... that's just my rough estimate.

If it was only a dent, you could maybe use paintless dent removal service but since there is a scratch, you will need to repaint that area. Maybe you can get the dent removed and paint it with touch-up paint yourself, but I don't recommend it unless you know what you're doing... Another bad thing about doing it yourself is that sometimes touch-up paint doesn't match correctly to your car's paint.

Anyway, sorry to hear about your accident... Good luck.

 

i tried applying touch up paint from the dealer and it fuxored the little chipped area so badly that now i can spot it from a mile away!

 

I'm thinking that hitting something at 4am is a bigger problem than the dented fender.

 

Dude, I scratched my G at that exact same spot several months ago except I did not have the dent. It's a paint in the butt because a body shop would have to paint both the bumper and the rear quarter panel. It's fairly labor intensive and I got two quotes at around $750 just to fix the scratch. I think it'd be more to also get rid of the dent. The good thing is, a good body shop should be able to fix it without any problems. It'll just cost a lot of money.
Good luck.

 

Damn... $750 sounds really expensive. I just got my car back from repair... $450 to pull out the fender and door and repaint. The fender was heavily damaged and I thought it would have to be replaced... anyway, the car looks perfect and paint matches perfectly... I just have to go in for buffing and wet sending next week. I say $750 is a focking rip-off!! Try finding reasonably price body shops that do quality work... shouldn't be that expensive.

 

Yeah, that's kinda pricey. I was hoping for like $300

 

Hmm...maybe the body shops around here are very expensive. I had two quotes both at around $750 and the 2nd shop (Abra) told me to feel free to get other quotes because he didn't think anyone can do it for much cheaper. The problem, if I remember correctly, is that they would have to take the bumper off and repaint it to make sure the paint matches. Then they have to do something to the rear quarter panel. One shop said something about having to remove the side glass and the other said something about removing the tail lamp. But yeah, I wasn't happy when I heard those quotes. I figured since I got quotes from 2 shops it's probably about how much it's going to cost.
Hopefully you can find an inexpensive shop to fix your car. Keep us posted.
