It's a good thing that wasn't Winston Wolf's Acura.

A good body shop will fix that like new...do it the right way, don't cover it with something that will make the car look worse

I've heard good things about Ultimate Collision Center.

I have 2 fantastic other body contacts as well.

I can even email your pic to my guy for an estimate.

Actually did it already

He said 750-900 to repair it...the right way. He is a very busy shop, and very honest with his prices, especially to myself.

And I can tell you this, and I hope all will agree. When it comes to body work, YOU WILL GET what you paid for.

If it looks like it was repaired, it is garbage.

If it looks just like the rocker panel on the other side, and there is not a single spec of anything in the clear coat, then it was done right.

Bill is 100% right.

you get what you pay for with bodywork, do not cheap out!

Thanks for all the help guys. I kinda guess something like this wouldn't be cheap.

Anyway you give me his contact info? I may have some other things I would like to be done.

steve had that same damage repaired on lori's car. its not a cheap repair and make sure its done right by a good body shop.

ricehero

Are they in NJ? If so, anyway I can get Steve's contact info so i can get more information from him?

orangebarius

yea steve is in northern nj. his user name is s2k_dreamin. shoot him a pm. his car came out perfect.

ouch, its best to try and replace the section. but that's more expensive but as im sure you know when you bend metal back and forth it becomes weaker and with pulling it out comes a glob of bondo, sanding, priming, and blend painting into the door and body. the less bondo the better. but fixing rather than welding in a new piece will definitely be cheaper.
