What am I gonna do about this? Is this area metal or fiberglass?

I can't afford to buy a whole new sideskirt and I believe it's a waste since in this area you wouldn't notice the shade being off between new and old paint.

What can I do and do you guys know anyone who can fix this sort of thing inexpensively?

I'll update with the story later but pretty much it's due to a curb and it's bent in a bit. You can kinda see it in the photo and obviously the paint is rashed off. Also I heard that dents are pretty time sensitive because they become less malleable over time. Is this true? Please let me know soon. I seek your wisdom S2ki of New England!

Thanks for the help in advance,

Oh you can buff that right out!!!!

 

Oops let me edit the post

 

That sucks....I'd rather have a wrecked fender than that.

What to do? Get it fixed....not sure a side skirt would cover or even fit right.



EDIT....I see....that IS a sideskirt.....nevermind.

 

Totaled, I will buy the remains from you for 1800 dollars. PM me.

 

That sux, and unfortunately those are not cheap to repair. That and the rear quarter are the two worst places to damage on an S.

 

awww mann... not the answer I was looking for but what do you guys think it would be around?

Also is that area metal of fiberglass or what? I can't really tell but I'm guessing metal. I'm worried about rust.

and no Kenta. Add another zero behind that and we'll have a deal lol

 

I have some similar (but less extensive) damage on mine from hitting a curb. It is all thick metal in that area. No way it will be able to be banged out. I haven't gotten an estimate to fix it, but I am betting it isn't going to be cheap.

From looking at it, I think the body shop would probably use a dent puller to smooth it out, then fill in the holes from the puller and re-paint. $$$

 

Contact your insurance company and have it fixed correctly.

 

It is metal as Jeff said .

Yes it can be pulled and repaired . How much will depend on the shop you take it to . But it will also determine the quality of the repair as well .
